Proof beats a pitch.

Most of our work is the operator side — inside a business, out of sight. Here's the part you can open and click: real, live, and built by us.

Every one of these was built with the client — concept, design, execution — not handed over as a plan. And often what you can see is just the front of it: behind these we've shaped the business models, the sponsorship strategies, the outreach and sales platforms — the whole engine that makes the thing work.

How it starts

Every engagement starts the same way — a conversation about what's actually broken, before anyone talks solutions. Then we work through the systems and processes underneath. Sometimes the fix is a full software platform or app. Sometimes it's a single custom spreadsheet that quotes a job in seconds, with the real pricing built in behind it. The point was never the tool — it's solving the problem in front of you.

Workshop Command CentreOur build

Operations software · product build

The brief was clarity — track the work in progress, the parts and the customers in one friendly screen, with room to bolt on the parts of a business that fall outside a typical workshop. So that's what we built: every job and where it's stuck, the parts on order holding it up, the cost building as labour and parts land, and the WoF rebookings that bring customers back. A working product, not a mock-up — drag a job along, book a reminder, watch a job cost itself up.

MeatBot

Concept · brand · web

Built with students finding their way through the tsunami of AI job cuts — a sharp, half-comic take on how people actually work alongside the machines instead of against them. Idea, narrative, design and build. Where Workshop Command Centre shows the operations side, this is the creative range: a bold idea turned into something that looks and reads sharp.

Garden ŌtepotiDunedin's garden festival

Brand · website · sponsor strategy

Dunedin's garden festival, taken from a blank page to a live, multi-page site — the festival story, the four seasons, open gardens, a Garden Knowledge hub and the charitable foundation behind it. But the site is just the front of it: alongside it we shaped the brand, the business model, the sponsorship strategy and the outreach to land it — concept to execution, built with the team.

This is the part that fits on a screen. The rest is the operator work — systems, leadership, the numbers. We don't hand over a plan and leave: we sit alongside you, find the idea, shape it, build it, and stay until it runs. Your dream, built with our hands and thirty years of doing this.
