Tell Me What’s Broken

You don’t need to know exactly what you need. That’s my job. Tell me what’s going on, what you’re trying to make happen, and where things are currently getting held together with duct tape, browser tabs, or sheer force of personality.

I’ll review it and let you know if it looks like a Studio fit.

By submitting this application, you acknowledge that The Hot Mess Collective may use the information you provide to review your Studio fit, respond to your inquiry, and, where applicable, provide requested services. See the Privacy Policy: https://www.thehotmesscollective.com/privacy-policy

What should I call you?

What’s your email?

What’s the name of your business?

Where can I stalk—I mean, research—you?

Website, Instagram, LinkedIn, whatever gives me the clearest picture.

What are we trying to fix, build, or unfuck?

Tell me what’s happening in your own words. You do not need to diagnose the problem before you get here.

Any areas you think this touches? (Optional)

Select any that seem relevant. If you’re not sure, skip this—I’ll help identify the right fix.

What do you already have in place?

When this is fixed, what needs to be different?

More leads? Less manual work? A site that finally converts? A backend that doesn’t require you to remember 47 things? Tell me what “working” looks like.

One sentence is enough. What would be easier, clearer, or no longer dependent on you remembering it?

Is there a deadline attached to this?

Do you have an investment range in mind?

This helps me assess a sensible scope. It is not a commitment; “I need to understand the scope first” is a valid answer.
