// Navigating software success
Requirements, Specs, Mockups, Testing, and Documentationfor software companies
Keep it Simple
Most feature delivery drowns in coordination overhead at every stage. One person owning the whole process changes that.
Ship the Features
Getting a feature from concept to production takes more than coding. I handle everything else so your team can move faster.
How does it work?
A clear, repeatable process from vague ideas to shipped features. No bureaucracy, no surprises. Just features delivered every sprint.
About me
Behind Manifest is one person who has spent years proving that small software teams don't need four specialists to ship great features.
Easy Pricing
One flat monthly subscription rate, always. No time tracking, no project quotes, no limits. I'm with you no matter what.

Let's talk about your backlog and how we can get your features shipped more efficiently.
Keep it Simple
Most companies split feature delivery across four people: a BA gathers requirements, a designer creates mockups, a QA tester validates the build, and a technical writer documents it. Each handoff loses context. Each person needs meetings to get up to speed. Each transition creates delays while someone waits for someone else. You end up with features that take weeks to deliver, mountains of documentation no one reads, and a trail of unnecessary ceremony that slows everything down.I handle the entire feature lifecycle myself, from gathering requirements to delivering tested, documented features. I'll coordinate with your developers and PM or product owner, but that's it. Fewer cooks in the kitchen means fewer handoffs, less context loss, and minimal coordination overhead. Most work happens async, meetings only when actually necessary. You get one person who maintains context through the entire feature lifecycle, working efficiently without the bloat of separate roles and excess process. I provide annotated high-fidelity mockups as specs, tested features, and docs that actually help your users. All the good stuff without any of the waste.
Ship the Features
You've got developers. You've got a backlog. What you don't have is someone to bridge the gap between "we need this feature" and "it's built, tested, and documented." That's where velocity dies, in the messy middle where requirements are vague, designs are missing, testing is an afterthought, and documentation gets thrown together at the last minute. Features sit in limbo while you try to coordinate multiple people or stretch your existing team too thin.Bring your own developers. I'll handle everything else. Requirements gathering, high-fidelity mockups that double as specs, acceptance testing when it's built, and user documentation when it ships. One streamlined process: Requirements → Specs/Mockup → Testing → Documentation. Your developers code, I deliver the rest. Features move from concept to production faster, with fewer gaps, less rework, and the confidence that everything's been properly scoped, designed, validated, and documented before you call it done.
How Does it work?
Working together is straightforward.0. Onboarding
I provide and sign a standard non-disclosure agreement before work begins, so your product details, roadmap, and business logic stay confidential. You provide me access to your ticket system, your staging environment, and a walkthrough of how your product works.1. Sprint Planning
Before features enter the sprint queue, your product owner reviews and scopes them. That means adding context like "approach this the way we handle X elsewhere" or "ignore the ABC part, just focus on XYZ this sprint." You decide the direction. I handle the execution.2. Requirements Gathering
I dig into each feature ticket, explore staging, and talk to your PO and end users as needed. Vague ideas become fully fleshed out behavior expectations including edge cases, business rules, the works.3. Specs & Mockups
I deliver a high-fidelity Figma prototype your developers can build from, plus subtasks added directly to the feature ticket covering acceptance criteria, business rules, and edge cases. Those subtasks also become my testing checklist later.4. Development
Your team builds while I'm already prepping the next sprint's features. I stay one sprint ahead so there's no waiting.5. Testing
Once features hit staging, I work through the ticket subtasks as my checklist. Bugs go back to your developers in a single batch so they can address everything at once. I verify fixes and flag anything remaining until it passes.6. Documentation
I write user documentation in your existing docs system or Google Docs, whichever works for your team. If Google Docs, your team migrates the content. Either way, it'll be done before anything ships.7. Repeat 1-6
Every sprint, like clockwork. Context never gets lost because I'm with you the whole way.
About me
I had to coin the title Feature Delivery Specialist because nobody else does what I do. I have several years' experience wearing nearly every hat at small software companies. Requirements, specs, mockups, testing, documentation, user support, training, sales demos. All of it. And while I've now narrowed my focus, those years of working directly with users, understanding how they think, and learning what they actually need were invaluable. That experience developed in me an intuition and empathy that can't be gained from any certification.Enterprise feature delivery exists for enterprises. Dedicated BAs, designers, QA engineers, technical writers, each owning their slice, handing off to the next person in line. That's a system built for compliance audits and large team handoff chains. Small software teams don't need all that. You just need features that ship.I built Manifest because small software teams can't justify hiring a BA, a designer, a QA engineer, and a technical writer. So those responsibilities fall on whoever has a spare moment, usually the product owner, business owner, or maybe a support person, on top of everything else they're already doing. But there's a better way.Small software teams need someone who can do all of it, and stay with a feature from requirements to documentation without dropping the ball. That person is me. I've spent years doing exactly this work, and it's the only thing I do.
Easy Pricing
No hourly rates. No project quotes. No "it depends." Just simple monthly subscription pricing at $1800/month. You pay the same amount every month whether you use me for 5 hours or 50. Unlimited revisions until you're satisfied, pause or cancel anytime. No contracts, no surprises, no invoices that make you second-guess every request.Most freelancers nickel and dime you for every revision, every meeting, every clarification. That creates friction. You hesitate to ask questions. You settle for "good enough" instead of getting it right. With a fixed monthly rate, all that goes away. Need to pivot mid-feature? Do it. Want another round of testing? Done. Realized the mockup needs adjustments? Not a problem. You get predictable costs and the freedom to iterate without watching the clock.
