03 / About
I work with a small number of teams each year, so every project gets a senior designer from the first call to the last pixel.
Before going independent I led product design at two fintech companies and a health startup. I still do the work myself: research, interface, prototype and handoff, in the open, with your team.

Price the outcome, not the hours
Hourly rates punish speed and hide risk. Here is how I moved to fixed prices, and what it changed.
