What I do

Four ways to put AI to work

Tick anything that fits. It goes straight into your note at the bottom of the page.

Social media content

LinkedIn posts, carousels, Meta ad creative and AI-animated videos for your products and services.

I built and run Wenk, a LinkedIn ghostwriting platform for South African professionals, so I know what performs on the feed and what doesn't.

Bespoke AI tools and automation

Custom tools, workflow automation and integrations (WhatsApp Business, Supabase, Claude-based agents), built around how your business actually works.

AI training and workshops

Practical, jargon-free sessions in English or Afrikaans, for teams and small business owners.

Plus rolling out Claude for teams.

Websites

Fast, modern sites and landing pages, built with conversion in mind.

This page is one of them.

What I've built

Two products I built and run

The clearest way I know to show I can ship: both are live, and both are mine.
