Question 1

What kinds of brands do you work with?

Accepted Answer

Mostly fashion houses, design-led startups, and cultural institutions. The common thread: founders who care about craft and have a meaningful point of view. Industry isn't as important as intent.

Question 2

What's the typical engagement length?

Accepted Answer

Identity engagements run 8–14 weeks. Creative direction and digital product runs are usually 10–16 weeks. Ongoing creative partnerships are quarterly, with month-to-month options after the first quarter.

Question 3

Do you work solo or with a team?

Accepted Answer

Mariya leads every engagement personally. Specialists are pulled in as needed — engineering, motion, photography, sound — through a vetted collaborator network. The roster scales to the brief, not the other way around.

Question 4

What's your pricing model?

Accepted Answer

Fixed-fee for scoped engagements (identity, sites, campaigns) and monthly retainer for ongoing direction. We don't charge by the hour. See Pricing for starting numbers and ranges.

Question 5

Where are you based?

Accepted Answer

Studio is in Dhaka, with regular travel to London and Dubai. Most work is remote-first; on-set and in-store work happens in person.

Question 6

Do you take on small projects?

Accepted Answer

Occasionally — for taglines, press kits, brand audits, and one-day workshops. See the Add-ons section on the Pricing page.

Question 7

Will you sign an NDA?

Accepted Answer

Yes, mutual NDAs are standard. We'll sign yours or ours before sharing anything sensitive.

Question 8

What about IP and ownership?

Accepted Answer

You own the final assets in full upon final invoice. We retain the right to show the work in our portfolio with a typical reveal window agreed at kickoff.

Question 9

Can you start next week?

Accepted Answer

Sometimes. We accept a small number of new engagements per quarter. The fastest path is the inquiry form on the Contact page — first replies usually within 48 hours.

Question 10

Do you offer brand consulting without design?

Accepted Answer

Yes — discovery sprints, naming, verbal identity, and creative-director-as-a-service for in-house teams. See Services for more.
