Why should I hire you?

I see you’re getting straight to business. I like it! Why you should hire me: Experience. I’ve been doing this a loooong time. About 25 years. I’ve seen a lot. I’ve done a lot. Chances are, I’ve come across a similar problem before, which means high-quality, efficient results. Directness. When you hire me, you get me. You’re not passed off to a junior design team. And there’s no account manager.

Why should I NOT hire you?

Here are a few good reasons: You want the agency treatment. If you’re into catered lunches, a Trademarked Process™, and a big team in a shiny office with impractical seating, you won’t get that from me. Some folks find comfort in structure, hierarchy, and the illusion of multiple specialists working in parallel. You should hire an agency. You have an aggressive timeline and I’m already booked.

Are you taking on new clients?

Yes indeed! I’m currently booking projects for September 2026. Let’s set up a quick meeting to see if there’s a fit.

What’s your specialty?

I work at the intersection of strategy, experience design, and visual design. I gravitate toward big, messy, interesting problems that need a curious generalist. Especially ones that are tightly connected to the ✨brand experience✨. Think: onboarding flows, mission-critical interactions, or high-impact moments that shape how people feel about your product.

Are you reliable?

Oh yeah. When aspiring freelance designers ask me for the most important advice on building a successful career, I tell them: “Do what you say you’re going to do, when you said you were going to do it.” I live by that.
