How I work

I run TShape Digital as a one-person operation, on purpose.

One operator, one engagement at a time. I don't hand off work to subcontractors. I don't sell more than I can ship. I take fewer clients so the ones I take get my full attention.

Every engagement starts with a scoped audit — I'd rather find out we're not a fit in week one than waste month three. Audits come with receipts: screenshots, video walkthroughs, prioritized backlogs. No vague slide decks.

The deliverables are boring on purpose. A documented backlog. A weekly status note. A 30-day review against the numbers we agreed on at kickoff. If you've worked with agencies before, you know how rare those three things are together.

The name TShape is literal. I have deep expertise in one thing — product ownership — and useful breadth across the rest: CRO, SEO, GA4, GTM, GSC, WordPress, landing pages, project coordination. That T-shape is how I work, and it's how I want to teach.

What I believe

The internet has too much advice. I'd rather show the work.

Six principles I bring into every engagement and every lesson. Held loosely, but pursued seriously — and visible in the work, not just the marketing.

01

Structure beats style.

Most pages don't have a design problem; they have an argument problem. Fix the order of arguments before you touch the typography.

What I'd cut One more pass of the visuals.What I'd add A 30-minute rewrite of the hero.
02

Audits over opinions.

The first deliverable in any engagement is evidence — heatmaps, console logs, GSC reports, real recordings. Recommendations come second, always anchored to that evidence.

What I refuse "I think the green is wrong."What I send "38% rage-clicks here. Receipt below."
03

Templates aren't cheating.

A good template is years of work compressed into a starting point. Use them. Improve them. Share them. The Learning Hub is built on this premise — and so is every audit I ship.

04

One engagement at a time.

Splitting attention across five clients gives all five the same diluted version of the work. I'd rather give one client the version that compounds. The trade-off is fewer engagements — and a waitlist.

05

Numbers, not narratives.

Every engagement closes with a 30-day review against the metrics we agreed on at kickoff. No reframing, no moving goalposts — if it didn't move, we say so and figure out why.

06

Teach what you actually do.

Every Learning Hub piece is built from real client work — anonymized where it needs to be, but never invented. If I don't run a framework, I won't publish it.

I'd rather ship one honest fix than write ten clever ones.
03
What I refuse

The list of things I won't take on.

Honest about scope, because the alternative is over-promising.

Paid media buying. I'll audit it; I won't run it.
Brand identity work. I have opinions; I don't have a design team.
Full-stack development from scratch. I work on top of what you have.
Hourly billing. Flat fees, written quotes, no exceptions.
Multiple clients at once. One engagement, full attention.
White-label work I can't talk about. Case studies matter.
"Quick win" SEO promises. The math doesn't work.
Anything dishonest with data. The numbers are the numbers.
