FAQ
Before you ask
The questions almost every project starts with. Anything else — just email.
What does a project cost?
Identity work starts at $12k, sites at $18k, and combined brand-plus-site engagements at $28k. Every proposal has exactly one number on it — no option menus, no haggling theatre. If the budget genuinely isn't there yet, say so; I keep a shortlist of younger designers I trust.
How long does it take?
An identity runs four to six weeks, a site six to eight, both together about ten. I work in weekly shipped milestones you can see and click — never a six-week silence followed by a big reveal.
Do you work with agencies or teams?
Yes — as an embedded art director or design lead on a project basis. What I don't do is white-label: my name is on the work or I'm not on the project.
Who owns the work when we're done?
You do — files, fonts licensing paperwork, code, the lot. The repository transfers on final payment, and everything is documented so any competent developer can take it from there without me.
What if we're not sure what we need yet?
Start with a Direction sprint: two weeks, a diagnosis, and one loud recommendation with a roadmap. If we continue together its fee comes off the bigger project; if not, you own a plan any studio can execute.
People say nice things
Kind words
Chronicle gave us a brand that sounds like us on our best day. Six months later, strangers describe our product using lines from the site.

Cofounder, Mono
One person, no handoffs, no telephone game. Marlo designed it, built it, and shipped it two days early. I didn't know agencies of one could hit this hard.
Robin Reyes
CEO, Parallel
We asked for a website and got a point of view. Sales calls are shorter now because the site does the arguing for us.
