Manifesto
Technology, designed with intent, is the most powerful lever we have. But most of what gets built today is shaped by speed, hype, and short-term incentives.
The world needs fewer products, designed better. Products that respect the people operating them and the systems they run on.
Karda exists for this: a one-person studio, working at the edge of deep tech, close to founders building real things.

Your questions
Me, from the first call to the last file. Karda is a one-person studio: seven years of product design across telecom, energy and entertainment, on interfaces used by millions of people. No account manager in the middle, and no junior taking over once the contract is signed.
It starts with a 30-minute intro call. We talk through what you're building, where you are, and what you need. From there I scope the smallest engagement that moves you forward: an audit, a sprint, or embedded work.
A focused sprint typically runs one to two weeks from kickoff to a working result. Larger builds are broken into sprints so you see shippable progress every week rather than waiting on one big reveal.
Web and mobile apps, landing pages, MVPs, hardware prototypes, UX audits, and investor decks. If it's a product problem, from first concept to shipped build, it's likely in scope. If it isn't, I'll tell you on the call.
As much or as little as you like. Most founders want a weekly check-in and async updates in between. I work autonomously once the direction is set, and flag decisions that need you rather than blocking on them.
Fixed-scope engagements are priced per package so you know the cost up front, with no hourly surprises. Ongoing embedded work is a monthly rate. We settle on the right shape during the intro call.
