In development — pilots opening
The committee's window for lot owners. A communication app owned by the body-corporate committee itself — minutes, notices and maintenance logs reach every owner, and the record survives any change of strata manager.
Built from a working committee app running today. Australia has ~368,000 strata schemes and 3.19 million lots — and committees, not managers, are StrataLink's customer.

About
Based on the Sunshine Coast in Queensland, I'm primarily employed as a Motion Graphic Designer at ALG, working within a close-knit five-person marketing team and bringing well-rounded design skills across both Adobe and Apple platforms. My workflow also includes AI-assisted development with Anthropic's Claude Code and Cowork, OpenAI's Codex, and Cursor to create apps and websites, alongside creative tools such as ComfyUI.
Using Adobe After Effects, Photoshop, Illustrator, and Cinema 4D, I've built a comprehensive library of 3D product overviews and installation animations, many of which are featured on ALG's YouTube channel.
By working closely with ALG's Sales System Analysts to streamline updates to 12 product categories in the Doric price book, I've been able to draw on many years of experience with Microsoft Excel to develop custom databases that catalogue and track marketing projects, manage priorities and delivery dates, and create visual profit and loss dashboards for ALG board reports.
Our marketing department is responsible for the production of catalogues, price lists, booklets, brochures, and flyers covering a wide range of products and services.
Brands supported include Lock & Roll repair services, AMS Australia high-security solutions, and leading fenestration brands Doric and Cowdroy. The department also services Azuma Design, one of Australia's largest privately owned compliance testing and engineering companies.
After Effects · Cinema 4D · Photoshop · Illustrator · InDesign · Premiere Pro · Final Cut Pro · KeyShot · SolidWorks — through to today's AI toolkit: Claude Code, Cowork, Codex, Cursor, ChatGPT, ElevenLabs, HeyGen, Udio & Suno, Stable Diffusion & ComfyUI
