Project
One defined thing, shipped.
Best forLaunches with a date on them: a new website, a campaign, a film.
You get a written scope and a fixed quote before work starts, weekly check-ins while it’s underway, and a ship date I hit. No hourly meter running.
Typical: 2–6 weeks · fixed quote
/02
Retainer
A studio on your bench.
Best forTeams that ship every month but don’t want a design hire.
A set number of studio days each month, covering web, design and comms as needed. Priority scheduling, a standing check-in, and no re-explaining your world every brief.
Monthly · three-month minimum
/03
Sprint
One week, one problem.
Best forUrgent, single-minded problems: a message, a prototype, a launch kit.
My whole week on your one problem. Brief on Monday morning, working sessions midweek, finished work in your hands Friday.
Five working days · flat rate

/01Kōrero
Twenty minutes on Google Meet. I listen, ask questions, and we work out if it’s a fit.
/02Scope
A written proposal inside two working days, scope and number set out together.
/03Build
One desk, weekly check-ins, shipped. The person who took the brief does the work.
/04Care
Handover, then a light ongoing arrangement if you want one: updates, tweaks, a fast lane.
How do budgets work?
Openly, on the first call. Scope and number always arrive together, in writing, so you never reach proposal stage and find a surprise.
Who writes the copy?
Usually me. Communications is the trade: you bring the facts and the voice, I bring the words, and you get final say.
Do you work outside New Zealand?
Yes. The desk is in Aotearoa, the work ships anywhere. Most collaboration runs async, with a weekly call in your timezone.
What happens after launch?
Every build ships with a proper handover. Most clients keep a light care arrangement for updates and the occasional “can we just…”, answered fast.
