Three thirty-minute calls a month. Free.

No follow-up unless you ask for one. Bring one specific question. We talk it through. That is it. The point is not for you to hire me. The point is for you to leave the call with one thing sharper than you arrived with.

Good fit

  • Thinking out loud about a question you cannot fully name yet.
  • Scoping a decision you are about to make and want a second opinion on.
  • Sense-checking a brief before you take it to your team.
  • Naming what you are stuck on in front of someone outside the room.

Not this call

  • A sales call dressed up as something else. I do not pitch on these.
  • Generic career advice. For that the mentorship page is the better door.
  • Free design work or a free audit of your product. The conversation page is closer to that.
  • Anything that needs more than thirty calm minutes. We will both know.

02 · What happens after

You email. If a slot is open, I reply with two or three times that week. We pick one.

On the call: you talk, I listen. I ask a few questions. Often I will suggest a thing to read or a question to sit with for a week.

I will never invoice you for the call. If you find the conversation useful and want to work together properly, you know where to find me — the link is in the footer of every page.

Take one of the slots.

Bring one specific question — a few sentences on what you are trying to do, and a few on what feels stuck. If you want to get the email right first, here is [how to brief me first](/brief).

Slots fill at the start of each month. If they are gone, the email goes on the next month's list.
