Custom builds for businesses that need something specific. By someone who can work with the mess.
Allan · Bowmanville, Ontario · 2024
I have built my career on helping corporate teams make sense of messy problems, untangle unclear processes, and figure out what they actually need. Sometimes that means a dashboard. Sometimes it means a workflow. Sometimes it is a small internal tool, a better client experience, or a website that finally explains the business properly.
That way of working slowly followed me outside of work. I started building small things for people I knew: a website here, a tracker there, a better way to collect information, organize requests, or replace a spreadsheet that had become too important to keep duct-taping together.
If your books are a mess, you can call an accountant. If your space needs work, you can call a contractor. But when the thing that needs fixing is a clunky website, a spreadsheet that runs half the business, an idea for something custom, or a question about how AI could actually help your work, the options get weird fast.
IF, short for Idea Factory, was built to help people make sense of that weirdness. We’re a small, practical studio for custom websites, tools, systems, workflows, and thoughtful AI consulting. Built with you, shaped around the way your business actually works, and handed over in a way that makes sense. Based in Bowmanville, Ontario. Working with local business and individuals.
What I build for you belongs to you. Code, accounts, context, all of it.
You will understand what was built after one clear walkthrough.
If a simpler option exists, I will say so.
Consulting is part of the work.
The right small thing beats a complicated one.
Messy problems are welcome. That is the part I like most.
AI has been part of how I work since 2022. My background is in operations, vendor management and product thinking, which meant I could always quickly understand a problem and shape the requirements. AI changed the execution layer. Now I can build the products myself instead of handing off a scoped product brief to a dev team. The result: faster builds, lower costs, and a builder who can finally embed his taste directly into the products he helps create.
