Frequently asked questions
Is a 50% deposit required?
Yes. To secure your date on our calendar, a 50% non-refundable deposit is required. The remaining 50% is due on the morning of your intensive.
What if my project is too big for one day?
We are honest about capacity. If you need a 20-page website or a complex policy audit, we will recommend a custom project proposal instead. Design sprints are for specific, scoped deliverables.
Do I have to be on Zoom for the full 4-6 hours?
We build in breaks, and all design sprints are structured with "working sessions" where you can step away while we build and then come back to review. We design the day to be productive, not exhausting.
What's your cancellation policy?
If you need to reschedule, we ask for at least 48 hours' notice. Deposits are non-refundable but can be applied to a future intensives within 6 months.
