Guiding Values
-
Authority Based on Expertise. It is important to demonstrate my experience. My informal training has far surpassed my formal training. The accumulated hours in which I have spent troubleshooting errors, reading documentation, and starting over from scratch has allowed the opportunity for personal growth, as well as the strengthening of my skills.
-
Business Trade Based on Mutual Respect. I will not knowingly do business with people who demonstrate that their values align with White Supremacy, Transphobia, Heterosexism, Xenophobia, or Antisemitism. Community-building is important to me, and I cannot work with, or promote, those that would infringe on the rights of others.
-
Free Association Builds Better Relationships. We may do business (or not), and you may be a repeat customer (or not). What's more important to me is that we are comfortable collaborating with each other, as well as inspired by each others' ideas.
-
The Value of My Work Means Different Things To Different People. I am free to offer my labor as a form of mutual aid or volunteering to those who may be in need. I am free to give up as much of my profits towards reparations as I wish, and for those reasons, everyone will receive their own custom billing terms from me. These will be agreed upon before the start of any services.
-
Integrity Is Non-Negotiable. Integrity checks help computers eliminate errors, and so, too, does having integrity eliminate unnecessary problems. My projects and my business relations are built with security and confidence in mind.
