this is play, and play is serious work. welcome to our playground: emergent design™, a rigorous, multiscale approach to shaping life, systems, and self with coherence. we design the realities and the transitions between them. what’s true at one scale is true at all scales, unless, of course, it’s time for the next evolution.

1% of every service purchased is reinvested in futures worth inhabiting by supporting Futures Without Violence, the global nonprofit working to end violence against women and children.

the pseudo studio doesn’t do fans or forever clients. we work with leaders, creatives, and outliers who can keep up. if we work together, it’s because the fit is a mutual “hell yes,” creatively, strategically, and practically.

the consultation

$300

this isn’t coaching or self-help (ew). this is design, specifically emergent design™: traditional design’s feral younger sibling. same rigor, sharper instincts, zero boxes to stay in.

in this 60-min virtual session, we apply world-class design tools to your idea, business, space, or vision. you bring the vision; we bring the architecture.

deliverables:

  • invariants named (non-negotiable values + intentions)

  • a vision statement + light 5-scale coherence map

  • 1–2 aligned actions (homework)

  • a custom design brief (invariants, concept, map, actions)

  • a framework you can run on your own again and again (no training wheels required)

don’t just dream shit. build it.

the audit

$200

this isn’t guesswork or “best practices.” this is diagnosis. through emergent design™, we find what’s aligned, what’s fractured, and what’s ready to move.

in this 60-min virtual session, nothing’s off-limits: business, brand, system, space, story, identity. you bring the questions; we bring meta-analysis and zero tolerance for fluff.

deliverables:

  • invariants confirmed (non-negotiable values + intentions)

  • a scale-by-scale coherence map (what’s aligned, what’s not)

  • a summary of top 2–3 priority fractures

  • a custom design brief (invariants, map, summary)

  • a framework you can run on your own again and again (no handholding necessary)

warning: clarity may cause side effects like momentum.

the build

$5,000

this isn’t brainstorming or waiting for “someday.” this is execution. over the course of 12 weekly virtual sessions (90 min/week), we apply emergent design™ to take your vision from idea to reality.

part consulting, part collaboration, part reality check. the gap between vision and reality ends here. can i get an amen?

deliverables:

  • the full emergent design™ kit (constraints ledger, vision thesis, experience brief, forecast map, design criteria, runbook, stewardship plan, etc.)

  • weekly aligned actions & prototypes

  • a consolidated design brief → your custom reality map

  • a framework you can run on your own again and again (no supervision required)

ideas are cute. results are better.
