Where are you starting?

Founders

I have an idea

  • Work out what it is and who it's for
  • Map the core flows and the first version
  • Design it, then build it on iOS, web or Framer
Teams

I have a live product

  • Find what's slowing users down
  • Fix the UX, refresh the UI, or rebrand
  • Design and ship new features that fit
How it works

Work in stages. pause between.

Bring me in for a stage, then pause while your team builds, tests and learns. Pick up again when you're ready for the next one. You don't pay for the months in between.

Why one personDuncan Bottrill

My approach

I do the thinking, the design and the build myself. There's no account manager, no handoff between a strategist and a designer, and nobody learning your product on your budget.

You get one point of contact who already knows what was decided in week one and why. When something changes, I change it.

FAQ

fair questions

How does pausing work?

Give me 7 days' notice and the pause starts at the end of your current billing month. Nothing is billed while you're paused. When you're ready for the next stage, we restart on a new month.

What's the Starter Week?

A fixed-price week on one real problem. If you go on to the membership, the £1,000 comes off your first month.

Can you work with our developers?

Yes. I can hand over designs and specs, or build parts of the product myself in your codebase.

Who owns the work?

You do: files, code and accounts, from day one.

How fast do you turn things around?

Design requests usually come back within a few working days. Builds get an estimate before work starts, so you know the timing up front.

What happens at handover?

You get the Figma files, the code repository, the documentation and a walkthrough call. If you pause or leave, nothing is held back.

Will you sign an NDA?

Yes. Send yours over, or I'll send a standard mutual one. I'm happy to sign before we talk about the detail.

How do payment and VAT work?

You pay monthly, in advance, before that month's work starts. Prices are in the currency shown on this page: pounds, US dollars, euros or Australian dollars. UK customers pay VAT on top at the standard rate. Customers outside the UK pay no VAT.

What if it is not right for me?

There's a 7-day money-back guarantee, counted from your first payment. You can cancel anytime. Pausing needs 7 days' notice; cancelling doesn't.
