Most founders I talk to aren't stuck on the big idea. They're stuck on the small, expensive questions.
Should I design first or build first? Do I need a developer yet, or am I overbuilding before I've validated anything? Is my current UI actually the problem, or is it something else entirely?
These aren't questions you can Google your way out of. They depend on your product, your timeline, your budget, and what you've already tried.
So I opened a free 30-minute call to work through them.
No pitch. No script. I've spent 8+ years designing and building web and mobile products, and I've had this conversation enough times to know that most people don't need a bigger team. They need a clearer next step.
If you've got a project in your head and you're not sure what to do first, bring it. If the honest answer is "you don't need to hire anyone yet," I'll tell you that too.
Rosso Archive — Gallery Website
Rosso Archive is a website for a contemporary art gallery — a calm, editorial space built around a single idea: twenty-four works.
We kept the interface quiet so the images can speak. Monospaced captions, a soft grey palette and generous white space give the archive the feel of a printed catalogue, while small interactions make it feel alive online.
What's inside:
— Index list view with a live preview of the hovered work
— Grid view with a colour-on-hover state for the active piece
— Work detail page with specs, description and related works
— Seamless zoom-in transitions between artworks and screens
