Frequently asked
- Do you work with agencies?
- Rarely. I work directly with founders and senior product teams. If there's an agency involved, I'm usually the senior design voice they couldn't staff internally.
- Where are you based?
- Johannesburg, South Africa. I work with teams across Europe, the US, and Africa. I overlap with most time zones for at least four hours a day.
- Do you take equity?
- Sometimes, for the right team and the right stage. Default is cash. Let's talk.
- What's the smallest engagement you'll take?
- A Studio Audit. Anything smaller than that and the work doesn't move the needle.
