Think & Build
Weekend sessions only
Need a thinking partner for your company’s first app?
I run a small number of weekend Think & Build sessions. We talk through your use case, your goals and how you like to work, then start building your app together. Prefer to hand it off? Outsource it to me and I’ll take it from there.
We agree on pricing at our first meeting, and I keep it competitive with typical agency and outsourcing rates. Availability is limited.
I read every note myself.
A note to Dean
Tell me a little about:
- Your company and what it does
- The app you have in mind, or the problem it should solve
- Your goals and timeline
- Your time zone
