Freelance collaboration
A defined piece or phase of creative development with a clear purpose and deliverable.
Work with me
Bring me the imaginative thing you are trying to make.
I work remotely with creators and teams who need ideas developed, material created, creative problems solved, or a project’s world, story, system, meaning, and identity brought into clearer relationship.
A strong fit
The work is unusually aligned when…
- Your setting needs cultures, histories, institutions, beliefs, or everyday life that follow from its central ideas.
- Your narrative has promising pieces but needs a clearer emotional foundation, thematic center, or direction.
- Your rules, categories, symbols, or relationships need to function as one coherent system.
- Your project draws from several influences and needs an identity of its own rather than a collage.
- Your mythology, cosmology, ritual, or belief system needs unusual depth and cultural consequences.
- Your existing canon has grown difficult to organize, reconcile, or communicate to collaborators.
Ways to engage
Project first. Structure second.
The same creative need may suit a small assignment, a longer contract, recurring subcontract work, or a permanent remote role.
Subcontracting
Specialist world, narrative, symbolic, cultural, belief, or systems support behind another studio or lead creator.
Contract work
Joining a project through a defined development period, milestone, or creative phase.
Remote employment
A sustained role shaped around recurring creative-development needs.
Independent work
Rates & compensation
My standard rate for freelance, subcontract, and contract work is $65 USD/hour. Clearly defined projects may be quoted at a fixed fee. Longer arrangements and employment compensation are discussed according to scope, duration, and responsibilities.
Working preferences & boundaries

Start a conversation
Your project looks unusually aligned with my work.
A concise introduction should name the project, what you are making, where you think my toolbox may fit, and the kind of involvement you have in mind.
