Process

Four steps. Held loosely.

01

Listen

We start with a conversation. I want to understand the problem, the people, and the constraints before sketching anything.

02

Frame

We agree on what success looks like and write it down. The frame becomes the test for every decision that follows.

03

Make

I work in the open — rough drafts, prototypes, and decisions shared weekly. Nothing is hidden until the final pass.

04

Ship

We launch carefully, with handoff documentation and support. The work is only done when it's in the world and working.

Frequently asked

Common questions.

Do you work with early-stage startups? +

Yes — about half my work is with founders pre-product-market-fit. I'm comfortable working in ambiguity, and I price engagements to be honest about that.

Can you work alongside an in-house team? +

Often. About a third of my work is embedded — usually with a small in-house team that needs senior craft or an outside perspective.

Do you only work on design, or do you build too? +

I design and front-end build (HTML, CSS, a small amount of JS) for editorial web work. For product work, I partner closely with engineering teams.

What's your availability? +

I'm taking on new work for 2025 — typically 2 — 3 engagements at a time. Best to reach out early.

Where are you based? +

Bengaluru, India. I work remotely with clients in Europe, North America, and across Asia.
