Working with the team
at Jackie Brown
Working with a new design team can feel risky, especially when you're moving fast.
So we put together this page to give you a clearer picture of how we work, what it costs, and what to expect.
Phase 1
Day 1
Discovery call
We get on a call to understand where you are, what you're building, and what kind of support you need. No pitch. Just a conversation to see if there's a fit.
Your product and stage
What you've built, where you're headed, and what's blocking you.
Scope & engagement model
Retainer vs. sprint. We'll figure out which model fits your pace.
Timeline & priorities
What needs to ship first, and what the next 6–12 weeks look like.
Communication & tracking
How we'll stay in sync; we work in your tools, or set up ours.
Phase 2
Day 2-3
Project kickoff
Once we agree on scope, things start moving. We set up shared tooling, get aligned on priorities, and start working within 48 hours of signing.
Comms channel & Project Tracking
Dedicated workspace with your team. Async by default, syncs when needed.
Design backlog
We shape and prioritize the first sprint together based on impact.
Access & context
Product tours, business context, analytics, etc. We immerse ourselves in your product.
First design direction
You'll see initial explorations within the first 48–72 hours.
Phase 3
Week 1+
Design and delivery
We work through your backlog with regular updates, short feedback loops, and production-ready handoff to your engineers.
Updates every 2–3 days
Design updates, Loom walkthroughs, and async check-ins to keep momentum.
Regular syncs (Sprints Only)
15-30min calls to review progress, reprioritize, and plan ahead.
Dev-ready handoff
Annotated specs, component docs, and design tokens; not just pretty mockups.
Design review
We review the build against our designs, flag visual gaps, and update files until it looks right in production.
