How It Works
Discovery Consultation
A 40 minute call to discuss your project, your goals and the challenges you're facing while identifying the next steps.
Strategic Next Steps
You'll receive a written report summarising my observations, prioritised recommendations and practical next steps, which can be shared directly with your website developer, manufacturer or wider creative team. Not exclusively a written report — this can also serve as a guide and ongoing support for your own solo work and development, helping you move forward with clarity between sessions.
Implementation
Continue working together through ongoing consultancy or commission Maison Magenta to assist with design development, garment production, sourcing, branding or other creative services.
