Creative perspective.
Business experience.
A multidisciplinary perspective shaped by years of advising, leading, creating, and working alongside people.
89Design is led by Richard Rizo, whose professional background includes advisory work with Fortune 100 organizations across customer experience, digital products, business strategy, leadership, and emerging technology.
That experience brings a broader perspective to every engagement: an understanding of how people experience brands, how leaders navigate change, and how strategy becomes meaningful through clear communication and thoughtful execution.
SELECTIVE · FOUNDER-LED · THOUGHTFULLY SCOPEDA THOUGHTFUL BEGINNING
Every engagement begins
with a clear conversation.
We’ll identify what you are working toward, determine the kind of support that will be most valuable, and shape an engagement around the outcome you need.
01 / CONVERSATION
Begin with the opportunity.
Share the objective, challenge, or change you are navigating. We’ll discuss your priorities, audience, timeline, and what a successful outcome should make possible.
02 / DIRECTION
Clarify the right path.
Together, we’ll determine whether the need is best supported through photography, focused advisory work, or a thoughtfully coordinated combination of services.
03 / ENGAGEMENT
Define the work with care.
You’ll receive a clearly scoped recommendation outlining the focus, intended outcomes, timing, responsibilities, and investment before the engagement begins.
Business advisory engagements are selective and individually scoped. Photography services may be booked independently or coordinated with a broader business objective.
BEFORE WE BEGIN
A few helpful
business details.
Every engagement is individually considered. These answers provide a helpful starting point before we discuss the objectives, people, and circumstances specific to your organization.
-
Begin with the inquiry form and describe the objective, challenge, or opportunity you are considering. Richard will review the information personally and help determine whether photography, advisory support, or a coordinated approach is the most appropriate next step.
-
Yes. Photography and advisory services may be engaged independently or thoughtfully coordinated when they support the same business objective—for example, clarifying a brand presence before creating a new image library.
-
89Design works with professionals, founders, leaders, teams, and organizations with a clearly defined communication, customer experience, brand, or innovation need. Fit is determined by the objective and scope rather than organization size alone.
-
Advisory engagements primarily focus on strategy, clarity, decision support, experience design, leadership considerations, and actionable recommendations. Any execution or implementation support would be clearly identified in the agreed scope before work begins.
-
After an initial conversation, you will receive a recommendation tailored to the intended outcomes, timing, responsibilities, and level of support required. Scope and investment are confirmed in writing before the engagement begins.
-
Many advisory conversations and working sessions can be conducted remotely. Photography location requirements and any in-person advisory needs will be discussed during planning and reflected in the proposed engagement.
