Please don't worry, the design principles used are always acceptable across any industry.
With curiosity and understanding, I view our work as work that is done together, not for or against one another. We can discuss the issues, the goals, the good and the bad feelings, and determine next steps together. Sometimes we will charge ahead together, sometimes alone, but always with intention because your success is my success.
To ensure a smooth kickoff and project, it’s most helpful if you come prepared with an open mind, any existing branding, content (text, images), and a general understanding of what you want out of the work together. However, if you are just looking for some clarity amidst the chaos, let’s dig in together, no matter what you have on hand.

I maintain a healthy, almost borderline obsessive, commitment to learning. While design is one obvious topic, I enjoy learning about the economy, biotechnology, fitness, food, and culture. I experiment with AI, fumble around in new tooling, and am often found identifying new ways to work.
- Adobe Creative Suite
- AI tools (ChatGPT, Google Gemini and NotebookLM, Figma Make, Sora, and a few limited no-code or low-code tools)
- Captions (short form video)
- Figma
- G Suite
- Jira
- Slack
- …and many more

I prefer fixed prices, offering one rate for a complete project. This lets me work creatively without watching the clock, while still delivering expert results using my deep design expertise paird with the latest AI tools.
If hourly works better, my rate is $100-120 per hour.
Since this isn’t my main income, I’m willing to work for free or exchange services if the situation is right.
For more on my services see my Services page.
I will offer 16 hours per month, either split between several projects or dedicated to a single project. Projects are taken on a first-come, first-served basis. Once I commit to a client or project, I will stay dedicated. Let me know if this doesn't happen.
With kindness and forgiveness. Constant, aimless changes won’t be accepted because they hurt both of us. But I know that changing direction or rethinking things is part of reaching success. I live honestly and will point out issues, and I expect you to do the same if we stray off course.
I protect client privacy by being honest, fair, and clear. I work directly with you, without middlemen, so you can speak openly. Your information is always treated with care and respect. This trust, built over 15+ years in product design, is the foundation of my work.
