Questions
Do you have a lab?
No. I work with your kitchen or plant, on-site or by video while your team runs the batches. Shelf-life studies are designed around your facility or an outside lab.
Do you sign an NDA?
Yes. Once we’ve agreed on the terms of a project, we sign an NDA before you share formulas or process details. The first call doesn’t need one.
How do project estimates work?
Email me what you’re working on, or tell me on the free call, and I’ll estimate how many hours it should take. Work is billed at $149/hour.
Do you work with clients outside the US?
Yes, by video call, and in person when it makes sense.
Do you offer regulatory or labeling help?
Not at the moment. I focus on formulation and process, and I’m glad to work alongside your regulatory specialist.
How quickly do you reply?
Within 2 business days.
