Got an idea? Tell me about it.
Send the rough version — a sketch, a paragraph, a photo of a napkin. I'll come back within 1 working day with a feasibility read and an honest estimate. No commitment, no fluff.
Or, more directly:
If a form feels too formal, just write or call. I read every email myself.
Taking on new projects this week. Send your idea and we can usually start within a few days.
Mutual non-disclosure agreement.
For projects under EU / Dutch law. This is the standard mutual NDA I use by default — short, plain-language, and ready to sign. Send yours instead, or send mine back with edits.
