Stewardship

Protecting brand coherence across time, not just launches.

We build living systems designed to adapt without breaking. Most brands fail not because of initial bad design, but because of incremental drift.

Frequently Asked

What is design stewardship?

Unlike traditional agencies, we don't disappear after delivery. Stewardship means ongoing partnership—we maintain, refine, and protect your brand's visual integrity as your business evolves.

Do you take on startup clients?

We work with founder-led brands at any stage, but we look for conviction over convenience. If you're building something meant to last, we're interested.

What's your typical engagement length?

Initial projects range from 12-16 weeks. Partnership clients work with us indefinitely, with monthly retainers and quarterly reviews.

How do you charge?

We operate on fixed project fees for Audit and Foundation tiers. Partnership is a monthly retainer. We provide transparent pricing upfront after initial consultation.

Do you work remotely?

Yes. We're comfortable with async collaboration and periodic in-person workshops when beneficial.
