FAQs

I understand you primarily work for media, gaming, and technology companies. What other fields do you consider?

There are fields I’m comfortable with and some I don’t know enough about (but I’m willing to learn). My main focus is on technology (hardware, software, internet services, etc.), media, entertainment, music, and obscure geeky stuff. If you like my style and want to work with me on something completely different, please get in touch. I’d be happy to discuss your ideas and see if we are a good fit.

Where are you based, and how do you work?

I’m based in Helsinki, Finland. Our first meeting will be virtual or in-person if the circumstances allow. On that occasion, we can discuss if we are the right fit for each other. After that, I will primarily work remotely and send you regular updates on progress.

Over the past few years, I realized I work exponentially better when I’m in the comfort and peace of my own home. Commuting and sitting in an office for no good reason makes me half as productive, so I want to limit in-person presence to crucial conversations. Of course, if meeting in person is really beneficial to what I’m doing, that will be discussed and included in the deal. As a rule of thumb, I’ll charge 20% extra on the final invoice if my presence is constantly required at your premises.

I’ll be available for virtual meetings during regular office hours.

Do you request a deposit for your services?

It depends. If we’ve never done business together, I usually request a 50% deposit amount. If we’re old friends, no deposit is needed.

When are the invoices due?

If not agreed otherwise, I expect payment within 15 days of job completion. Late payments will be assessed an additional 10% on the total. Repeat business will be put on hold if unpaid bills begin to pile up. Nothing personal – it’s just that the bills I have to pay don’t have flexible deadlines.

Do we have to sign a contract?

If we’ve never done business together and the job is not trivial, yes. I will provide the necessary documentation.

How much do you charge?

Each project is different. I want to make sure my work matters, and I usually estimate my fee based on how much value I think I can provide to your operation. For this reason, I also do not automatically accept every gig – if I don't see a way to help or if the job doesn't take advantage of what I can provide, I will recommend a different course of action or point you to someone who better fits your needs. I'll agree to dedicate a certain number of days per week to a single client under the right conditions. Get in touch, and we'll discuss options!
