Most businesses are paying $50–$200/month for Zapier or Make just to connect their apps.
There's a better way.
With self-hosted n8n, you build the same automations — or more powerful ones — and pay zero platform fees. Your workflows run on your own server, your data stays private, and you scale without watching a usage meter.
What I automate for clients:
→ CRM updates triggered by form submissions
→ WhatsApp notifications after a sale or appointment
→ Automated reports sent every Monday morning
→ Lead data flowing from Instagram directly into spreadsheets
No Zapier. No Make. No monthly fees.
Just automation that works.

ParKiwi is a smart parking app for New Zealand that lets drivers start and stop parking from their phone — and only pay for the time they actually use. The challenge was making something inherently annoying — paying for parking — feel effortless. We mapped how drivers actually park, then designed flows that remove the friction at every step: quick payment setup, live parking sessions, clear history, and transparent summaries showing zone, rate, and fees with no guesswork. By making the experience genuinely easy, we helped ParKiwi drive better payment compliance and a smoother experience for both drivers and operators. Handled end to end: user flows, high-fidelity UI, a scalable design system, and developer-ready handoff.
Impressive design.

Roboline
I got a brief for a technology and automation company.
The brief?
Create a futuristic brand identity that communicates innovation, intelligence, and reliability while remaining approachable to modern businesses adopting automation.
Here's how I brought Roboline to life:
• Explored how businesses perceive automation today. They want technology that is powerful and advanced, but also intuitive and dependable.
• Developed a brand strategy centered around simplifying complexity through intelligent systems and forward-thinking solutions.
• Designed a custom robot-inspired symbol that instantly communicates technology, automation, and digital transformation.
• Built a bold visual identity using vibrant neon green and deep black tones to create a modern, high-tech presence that stands out in a competitive market.
• Created a scalable branding system designed to perform across software platforms, mobile applications, digital products, merchandise, and marketing campaigns.
The result?
A brand identity that feels innovative, energetic, and future-ready. One that positions Roboline as a trusted technology partner helping businesses streamline operations and embrace the future with confidence.
The client's reaction?
"This perfectly reflects the direction of our company. It feels modern, intelligent, and instantly recognizable."
