Find the real project.
We start with the people it is for and what you want them to experience or accomplish.
Get a tangible prototype.
An early working version gives us something concrete to try. AI-assisted production helps me explore possibilities quickly.
Direct and revise.
We use what the prototype teaches us to improve the experience. The details should earn their place.
Ship something real.
We agree on delivery, hosting and ownership in the project scope, along with any training or ongoing support you need.
BEFORE A BUILD BEGINS
Know what you are deciding.
The first step is not a finished brief. It is enough context to find the useful first version and name what the project needs.
Start with the thing itself.
Bring a sketch, a stubborn problem, a link, or a rough idea—plus who it is for and what you want it to do.
Name the useful first version.
The Project Session works through a sensible first version. If the studio builds it, that project is scoped and quoted separately.
Decide where it lives.
Delivery, hosting, ownership, training and ongoing support are named in the project scope, before the build begins.
Keep private work private.
A project can stay private. Portfolio use is agreed, not assumed, and private client material stays with the project.
IN THE STUDIO
Built for particular people.
A writer wrestling with an outline. An advisor facing a difficult call. These projects started with someone’s actual work, and grew into tools with lives of their own.

THE FIRST STEP
The $500 Project Session.
Bring the idea in whatever shape it’s in. We’ll work through who it serves, what it needs to do and a sensible first version.
If you hire the studio to build it, the full $500 is credited toward your commissioned project. This is paid working time with me. You can also send a question before deciding whether a session makes sense.
