WILDCARD
01 DEFINITION
A chance for us to get to know each other and establish a shared understanding of your product, your users, your greatest needs, and your biggest areas of uncertainty.
02 RESEARCH
Navigating that uncertainty. Research will look different from project to project, but regardless of the methods used, the goal is to help you quickly answer your biggest questions.
03 REFINEMENT
Recommendations for product improvements based on research findings. Prototypes and guidance to aid future research.
04 BRANDING
Brand concepts including logos, colors, typography, interface design, visual motifs, and more—depending on the current state of your branding.
05 WILDCARD
Whatever else you need to get done! This can be a continuation of one of the previous modules, or something else entirely.
Why work with me?
01
Experience. I've spent 14 years as the lead designer at startups, 7 of those as the only designer on the team. I'm used to working directly with founders and engineers to define and realize a product vision.
02
Speed and versatility. Whatever it is that you need to get done, I've probably done it before. I know the value of moving fast (without breaking things).
03
Efficiency. Get the benefits of a cohesive vision and comprehensive skill set without needing to invest in a full-time designer or manage multiple contractors.
04
Competitive edge. If you want to make a strong first impression with your users and investors, it's never too early to start investing in design.
About the working process
All our work can be done remotely. We'll use video chat for workshops, text chat for quick check-ins, and Figma for workshops and design reviews.
Your involvement is front-loaded. I will need your help most with the initial workshops and with identifying research participants.
Module timing is an approximation, and we might shift things around based on your needs.
Your company is my primary focus. I won't be dividing my time between multiple clients.
