[—01] PROCESS

Five steps from first message to handoff. The whole process happens in writing — briefs, decisions, revisions. No calls, no real-time pressure, no scope creep.

01

Inquiry.

You write. Tell me what you're building, where it sits today, and what you're trying to move. I reply within forty-eight hours with a few questions.

02

Proposal.

After one or two written exchanges, I send a fixed-price proposal with scope, deliverables, and timeline. No surprises later, no scope creep, no hourly billing.

03

Deposit & brief.

Fifty percent deposit confirms the engagement. The brief is finalised in writing — what the work must do, what it must refuse, who it speaks to.

04

Delivery.

Async by default. Drafts, revisions, decisions — all in writing. You read on your time, I work on mine. Two rounds of revisions per phase, included.

05

Handoff.

Final files, source assets, brand guidelines where applicable. For coded sites: GitHub access, deploy, and a written handover document.

[—02] FAQ

Common questions.

Why no calls?

Async work makes room for thinking. Calls compress decisions into minutes when they deserve days. Writing forces precision on both sides — the brief stays a document instead of dissolving into a conversation.

What if the project genuinely needs one?

It is a rare exception, by mutual request, and only after written exchange. The default remains writing.

What does an engagement cost?

Each project is fixed-price, scoped to the deliverables agreed in the proposal. The studio takes a small number of editorial-driven engagements per year, typically running six to twelve weeks.

How fast do you reply?

Within forty-eight hours, weekdays. Often faster.

Do you take small projects?

Occasionally, if the brief is sharp and the position is interesting. The studio prefers full systems over single artefacts.

Are the projects shown all of the studio's work?

The portfolio is curated. Some engagements remain unpublished due to non-disclosure agreements; the work shown is what the studio chose to make public. New entries are added selectively.
