Brand & Messaging Strategy

Let's figure out what you want to say and who you're talking to. You'll leave with words that sound like you.

$150 first 90-min session · $250 per follow-up session

[Clear from the start]

The keys, the code, and the rights are different things.

I want you to feel confident running what I build. Handoff covers the agreed accounts, editing access, and walkthrough. Source-code access or delivery and ownership or licensing rights are separate items, each spelled out in your written proposal before you commit. Separate does not always mean an extra fee: your quote says what is included, what is not, and what any additional transfer would cost.

Your content stays yours. My pre-existing and reusable tools stay mine, with the agreed license for your project; outside materials keep their own terms. If you need a broader transfer or another developer to take over, tell me early so I can scope it with you. No added work or transfer fee starts without written approval. An inquiry is not a commitment. Read the Studio terms.

A short, focused session to get clear on your voice, your audience, and the message that actually connects. We'll leave with language you can use right away — on your website, in pitches, in emails — and a plan for where to put it to work.

First 90-minute session: $150. Additional sessions as needed: $250 each.

Final scope and price set after a short discovery conversation. No surprises, no hidden retainers.

Driftline rate — built into checkout

I keep a permanent sliding scale on every service for low-income founders, disabled-led businesses, mutual-aid groups, and BIPOC/Indigenous/queer/trans-led work — typically 40–60% off the listed range, sometimes more. No proof required and nothing to apply for: if this service takes a deposit, the reduced Driftline amounts appear as selectable options at checkout. For full project scope, mention it in your message and we'll land somewhere fair.
