Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about our consulting services. Can't find what you need? Reach out directly.

How long does a typical consulting engagement last?

+

Most engagements range from 4 to 16 weeks depending on scope. A design audit might take 4–6 weeks, while a full product transformation could extend to 12–16 weeks. We scope each engagement during our initial discovery call and can adjust timelines as needs evolve.

Do you work with startups or only large enterprises?

+

We work with companies of all sizes — from early-stage startups refining their first product to Fortune 500 companies modernizing their digital experiences. Our engagement structure and team size scale to match your needs and budget.

What's the difference between consulting and your design services?

+

Design services are about building and shipping your product. Consulting is about strategic guidance — audits, strategy, team building, workshops, and transformation. That said, many clients start with consulting and transition into ongoing design partnerships with us.

Can you work with our existing design team?

+

Absolutely. Many of our engagements involve embedding with your existing team. We act as force multipliers — bringing fresh perspectives, best practices, and senior expertise to complement what your team already does well.

What does the pricing model look like?

+

We offer both fixed-price engagements (for well-defined scopes like audits and workshops) and time-and-materials arrangements (for exploratory or evolving work). Our initial consultation is free, and we'll propose a detailed estimate after understanding your needs.

Do you provide ongoing support after the engagement ends?

+

Yes. All engagements include a 30-day post-delivery support period. We also offer retainer-based advisory relationships for clients who want ongoing access to our expertise on a flexible basis.
