02 The problem
Most teams stack vendors. You need one operator.
  • Strategy separated from execution.
  • Context lost at every handoff.
  • Founder becomes project manager.
  • Timelines slip rebuilding alignment.
Typical setup
3–5 vendors
Modworks
1 partner
Coordination cost
Founder's time
Handoff gaps
Zero
Brand · Product · Web · Build — one person

05 How it compares
Three specialists vs. one partner.
Typical setup
  • 3 scopes, 3 meetings, 3 interpretations
  • Founder as project manager
  • Translation cost at every handoff
Modworks
  • One scope, one thread
  • Design shaped by build constraints from day one
  • Less drift between idea and shipped result
06 How we work
Two ways to work together.
Sprint
Ship your project in less than a month.
$9K–$30K
Brand, site, or product — scoped tight, delivered fast. One person from direction to deploy.
Best for launches, redesigns, and new products
Design partner
Ongoing design + engineering for your team.
Starting at $8K/mo
A senior partner embedded in your workflow — shipping design and code week over week without the overhead of a full-time hire.
Best for growing products and teams
07 About
Designer. Engineer. Builder.
10+ years shipping across brand, product, web, and code. I design and build with AI tooling daily — nothing about your stack will slow me down.
I'm not a strategist who hands off decks. I'm hands-on. I build. When I'm not building, I'm on 22 acres with 6 kids and 40+ farm animals — or in the sauna, or playing guitar.
  • Full-stack engineering (React, Node, deploys)
  • Experience across startups, agencies, and product teams
Experience includes
Intuit Mailchimp
Product Forge
Tembo
