Working Principles

Three thingsI won'tbudge on

Boring defaults. The three below are the ones I keep coming back to, project after project.

Principle 01

No surprises.

Risk reviews every Monday. Boring when nothing's wrong. Lifesaving when something is.

◇ In practiceMonday risk review · five lines, before standup
Principle 02

Everyone's in the loop.

Decision logs over meetings. Weekly one-page status. No surprise change orders.

◇ In practiceWeekly one-pager · decision log lives in the wiki
Principle 03

Better each time.

Every project ends with a retro. The SOPs change. The defaults get a little better.

◇ In practiceRetro every release · SOPs evolve, not erode
◇ Working principle

On-time isn't a milestone — it's a system you build and maintain. Eight years of helping creative teams ship taught me one thing, and I'm still trying to live up to it: the boring delivery is the goal.

Outcomes

  • Single-project budgets up to $184K shipped on time and on budget
  • Custom ordering portals that standardize specs for national retail reorders
  • Pre-press → press → install workflow with AI-assisted QA and approval automation

Note from the PM

The first install for a national outdoor brand teaches you that 'on time' means 'on the truck two days early, just in case.' Now I default to that buffer.
