///FAQ

COMMON
QUESTIONS.

///What size projects do you take on?

We work with brands from growth-stage startups to enterprise. Minimums start at $15K. We prioritize fit and ambition over budget size alone.

///How long does a project take?

Brand strategy runs 6–10 weeks. Full identity systems take 10–14 weeks. Campaign work varies by scope. We move fast when the brief is clear.

///Do you work with international clients?

Yes — our teams in LA, New York, and London allow us to serve clients across North America, Europe, and beyond. Time zones never slow us down.

///What does kickoff look like?

After an initial call, we send a brief framework and proposal within 5 business days. Then a full-day discovery session — in person or remote.
