Foundations of Operation

Family

Personal well-being — and that of family — takes priority over any deadline.

Candor

Be authentic, be accountable, and most importantly — communicate.

Empathy

Solve the public's problems by looking through their lens.

Utilitarianism

Between function and form, consider which makes the most amount of people happy.

Subtraction

Eliminate anything that distracts from the core message.

Practice

Always be learning and keep a thumb on the pulse of what is to come.

Process

Discovery

We say hello, either virtually or in-person. We get to know each other, talk about why we could benefit from working together, and decide whether or not the fit is right.

Estimates, Contracts & Deposits

After meeting, we discuss and agree on pricing, timelines and project specifications. A signed contract and deposit are required before work begins.

Project Kickoff

We go deep into brainstorming project details, your marketing strategy, required technical functionality and project review points.

R & D

I go deep into the possibilities and we review the findings.

Production

I get to work. We review said work and invoice at the agreed upon stages.

Approvals

Production is finalized and a decision is made on the quality-control of deliverables.

Final Invoicing & Deliverables

Once final approval is given, the project is fully invoiced. After final invoices are paid, deliverables are yours to set free into the wild.
