What to expect when working with Skusonaut

  • Skusonaut is for experienced designers who are seriously considering starting a business or are already in the early stages of it.

    This works best if you:

    • Have several years of professional experience

    • Are burned out on traditional roles or hiring cycles

    • Know you have transferable skills, but haven’t packaged them into a business

    • Want better clarity and forward motion—not ongoing coaching

    If you’re brand new to design or looking for a passive-income shortcut, this probably isn’t a fit.

  • These are live working sessions, not presentations.

    Together we:

    • Clarify a viable business direction

    • Shape a concrete service offering

    • Make decisions around scope, pricing, and positioning

    • Identify the simplest operational setup to get started

  • Neither, in the traditional sense.

    Skusonaut is short-term advisory and execution-support guidance. I’m not acting as your manager, a long-term advisor, or an outsourced service provider. There’s no retainer and no ongoing engagement unless we explicitly agree otherwise (which is rare).

  • No.

    I don’t design websites, write full marketing copy, manage tools, or implement systems on your behalf. The work is collaborative and decision-focused. You leave with clarity, structure, and next steps you own.

  • I won’t source or pitch clients for you.

    What I do help with is:

    • Clarifying who your first customers realistically are

    • Shaping an offer that’s easy to explain and sell

    • Defining outreach or positioning moves that make sense for you

    The goal is to make selling simpler—not to create dependency.

  • No.

    All engagements are flat-fee and time-bound. No equity, no rev share, no long-term obligations.

  • No ongoing retainer or open-ended support.

    This is intentional. The goal is to help you make solid decisions and move forward independently, not to stay attached.

  • Most clients complete the work over two or three one-hour sessions, typically within a few weeks. There’s no minimum duration beyond that.

  • That’s exactly what the free 30-minute intro call is for.

    We’ll talk through your situation honestly and decide whether moving forward makes sense now, later, or not at all. If it’s not a fit, I’ll say so.

  • By the end of the engagement, most clients leave with:

    • A clear business direction

    • A defined, sellable service offering

    • A pricing approach they can stand behind

    • A simple plan for what to do next

    What you won’t leave with is a finished brand, website, or guaranteed income.

  • Start with the 30-minute intro call.
    No prep, no pressure—just a real conversation to see if this makes sense.
