who this is for

for shipped products that work, but feel a half-step off: rough interactions, drifting systems, weak states, mismatched marketing and product surfaces, or a frontend codebase that is starting to slow the team down.

not a redesign, and not a rewrite plan by default. a diagnosis of what deserves attention next.

what you get

prioritized findings, each tagged with:

severity
what it costs the product
effort
rough implementation weight
fix
concrete next step
examples
useful references

the final artifact depends on what the audit uncovers: a written report, a semi-functional prototype in the browser, low- or high-fidelity design directions, annotated flows, technical notes, or some mix of those.

depending on the product, the audit can cover interaction states, motion, responsive behavior, component consistency, accessibility, hierarchy, forms, empty states, error states, marketing-to-product cohesion, code organization, component boundaries, data flow, and performance bottlenecks.

delivered with a 60-minute walkthrough so the priorities, tradeoffs, and next steps are clear.

how it works
day 1
30-minute kickoff. access, context, sharpest concerns.
days 2–5
product flows, design system, component architecture, codebase structure, marketing surface.
day 6
findings and recommended next steps delivered.
day 7
walkthrough call. q&a, priorities, next steps.
what it costs

$3,500, paid up front. one round of clarifying questions included after delivery. implementation can be scoped separately; the audit stands alone.

why me

two decades in the browser. work for modern treasury, axoni, vice media, condé nast, amazon. long practice at the line between interface, systems, and implementation.
