30-Day Sprints for products with real complexity.
I help founders turn ambiguity into shipped, testable product slices — calm UX, durable systems, and decisions you can stand behind.
- 25+ years experience
- Startups to global brands
- Strategy to production
The Offer
The 30-Day Shipping Sprint
A focused month to move from “we think” to working.
In 30 days, you get:
- Intent Map — goals, constraints, assumptions, success signals
- System Model — roles, permissions, data objects, edge cases
- Working Slice or Prototype — whichever removes the biggest risk first
- Decision Log — what we chose + why (so teams can keep moving)
- Next 90-Day Plan — roadmap, gates, risks, and recommended sprint 2
How it feels: calm, structured, and fast — without spectacle.
Sprint Variants
Choose Your Sprint
Each sprint follows the same 4-week structure. What changes is the starting point and primary deliverable.
How We Work
5 days a week. 4 weeks. One shipped outcome.
I commit full production weeks during a sprint — no part-time guesswork. The delivery mode adapts to your risk profile.
Prototype-first
High uncertaintyDe-risk fast (Week 1–2), validate, then build.
Production-first
Clear directionShip a thin, valuable slice quickly (Week 1–4).
Hybrid
Mixed riskPrototype where it matters, code where it counts.
Week by week
The 4-Week Sprint
Week 1
Intent + Alignment
- Define the outcome (not a feature list)
- Map assumptions and unknowns
- Agree success signals and constraints
Deliverable
Intent Map + Sprint backlog
Follow-Up Sprint (optional)
If we prototype in Sprint 1, we can ship in Sprint 2 — using the same structure, less uncertainty, higher confidence.
Who This Is For (and not for)
- You’re building something complex and want it to feel calm
- You need speed without chaos
- You want someone who can lead decisions end-to-end
- You want a large agency team or long discovery theatre
- You need pure “pixel pushing” without system thinking
- You want endless options instead of decisive momentum

What it typically costs
I price sprints as a fixed engagement, based on complexity and how much we’re shipping.

Why ranges? The price changes with scope, stakeholders, and whether we’re prototyping or shipping production code.
