Before we start
A few useful answers.
Can we work entirely by email?
Yes. We can discuss the brief, agree the scope and handle project communication by email.
What should I send for a data project?
Start with a description and an approved de-identified example, along with the outputs you need and your intended deadline. Keep confidential respondent or client information out of an initial enquiry.
Can you help with an existing Survey123 form?
Yes. I build and modify Survey123/XLSForms and can support form testing, validation and backend data-quality checks. We agree a defined task after reviewing the requirements.
Do you work independently or with a team?
I can personally support a defined writing, form or data task. I also work with my seven-person team when broader support is needed.
How are fees and deadlines agreed?
For each project, we agree the scope, fee and deadline before work begins. Share your brief so we can identify a clearly defined assignment.
Have a project in mind?
Let’s make something clear.
Tell me what you’re working on, the output you need and your intended deadline. We can find a defined assignment and discuss the details by email.
