How to work with me

You don't need to have it
figured out first.

Most people who reach out don't have a clear brief or a specific ask. They just know something is changing and want to talk it through with someone honest. That's enough to start.

1

Say hello

Use the contact form on the homepage. No formal request needed, no detailed brief required. Just tell me a little about your work and what's on your mind.

If it helps to have a few prompts:

Things worth including
  • What kind of work do you do, and roughly how big is your team?
  • What's prompting you to look at AI right now?
  • Is there a specific problem you're trying to solve, or is it more exploratory?
  • Any tools you're already using — or have tried and abandoned?
  • Are there any concerns about privacy, client data, or security?

You don't need to answer all of these — or any of them. "I'm not sure where to start" is a perfectly good first message.

A real conversation

I'll respond within a day or two and we'll find a time to talk — usually 30–45 minutes. No pitch deck, no agenda. Just a real conversation about your work.

I'll ask questions about how your work actually runs. You'll ask whatever you want to know. By the end, we'll both have a clear sense of whether there's something worth doing together — and if there isn't, I'll tell you that honestly.

A clear proposal

If there's a good fit, I'll put together a simple proposal: what we'd work on, how long it would take, and what it would cost. Specific scope, specific price — no vague "it depends."

Most engagements fall into one of these shapes:

Engagement types
  • Strategy Intensive — 90 minutes, focused deliverable. Good for a specific decision or a quick honest read on your situation.
  • Foundations Engagement — 3–4 weeks, assessment + roadmap + initial implementation. The most common starting point.
  • Implementation Project — Defined scope, fixed price, 6–12 weeks. For when you know what needs to be built.
  • Ongoing Advisory — Monthly, capped hours, clear scope. For clients who want a sustained partner as things evolve.

We get to work

Most engagements start with a focused assessment — understanding your situation before recommending anything. From there, the scope depends on what you actually need.

Some clients want a roadmap and nothing else. Others want hands-on support through implementation. Either is fine. We'll figure out the right shape together.
