Case 1 of 3: Nocturna, Product analytics.
Companies I have designed and built for
Problem, then answer
You are here for one of five reasons.
Pick the one that sounds like your week. It turns into what I do about it.
What is actually happening
It works. It does the job people pay for. But the screens look like an internal tool, so prospects assume the product is half built and they price you like it is.
What I do about it
Up to 15 product screens, designed and built.
Real front end code, not a mockup. Loading, empty, error and success states all covered, because those are the states that decide whether a product feels finished.
Designed week 2, built week 3
Most people arrive with two or three of these at once. Four weeks is enough to close all of them, because it is the same four weeks.
The deliverable
Everything included. Nothing billed extra.
Two things ship at the end of week 4: the site that sells your product, and the product interface itself. Here is the whole list.
Up to 15 product screens
Designed and built as working front end code, in the framework your engineers already use. Not a folder of PNGs for someone else to interpret.
Every state covered
Loading, empty, error, success. These are the states nobody quotes for and the ones that decide whether a product feels finished or half built.
Nobody includes this
A component library
Your team builds new screens in your style after I leave, without booking me again. This is the part agencies charge a retainer for.
Nobody includes this
Copy structure for every page
Headline, subhead and section order, drafted. You are not left staring at lorem ipsum two days before launch.
Nobody includes this
Two weeks of fixes after launch
Something breaks, I fix it. No invoice, no change order, no conversation about scope.
If it is on this list, it is in the price. If you want something that is not on this list, we talk about it before we start, not in week three.
The work
Three sprints. Three products you can go and open.
Same four weeks, same fixed price, three different products. One number from each, and the live site behind it.

The real cost of waiting is not the fee. It is two months of runway spent looking unfinished.
Social proof
What the people who hired me said.
The sprint is new. The person running it is not. These are founders, engineers and product leads I have designed and shipped for, in their own words.

How it works
Four weeks, four steps, one person.
The person who scopes the work is the person who designs it and the person who writes the code. Nothing gets handed over, so nothing gets translated and nothing gets lost. That is the whole reason four weeks is possible.
We agree the exact page list and the exact screen list. That list does not change after this week.
- Your time
- One 90 minute kickoff call
- You get
- Copy structure, sitemap, wireframes
- Scope locked in writing
Total time you spend
5 hours
across four weeks. That is the whole ask, and it is the reason this fits around the work you already have.
- 1strong direction
- 2change rounds
- 0handoffs
You get speed, not open-ended exploration. Need research and user interviews first? Budget three months with an agency.
Before you book
Questions people ask before they book.
Who this is for
This is built for one kind of company.
This is for you if
Good fit- You raised in the last 9 months and the clock is running.
- You have 5 to 50 people and no designer, or one designer who is drowning.
- Your product works but looks like an internal tool.
- You need it live in weeks, not next quarter.
- You can sign off on decisions yourself, without a committee.
This is not for you if
- You have not raised yet and €18,000 is a real risk to your runway.
- You want a logo, a brand book, and a naming exercise. I do not do those.
- You need five rounds of stakeholder review. Four weeks does not survive that.
- You want someone in your standups every day. I am not an employee.
- You are shopping for the cheapest option. I am not it.
If you are in the right column, close this tab. I would rather you find out now than in week two.
Apply
Tell me what you are building.
Answer 8 short questions. Takes about 2 minutes.

Next start date: 6 October. One project at a time.
No newsletter. No follow up sequence. I reply myself, usually within one working day.
