Run by someone who has lived the work.

Workbench is a one-person studio for clear business tools — built by someone who spent years inside commercial reporting, not observing it from the outside.

Workbench is run by Janine. For years, the daily job was turning complicated sales, supply and performance information into something people could read in seconds and act on — the reports that get looked at in a meeting, the trackers a team actually runs on, the templates that keep a business consistent month after month.

That background is the whole point. Workbench is not a designer decorating your data from the outside, and it is not a generic consultant handing back a slide about your slides. It is someone who understands the work behind the files — how the numbers are pulled, where the mess comes from, and what the person on the other end actually needs.

What that means for your project

It means the work is clear — built around how information is really used, not how it looks in a portfolio. It means it is practical and reusable — you get editable files you own, not a black box only I can open. And it means it is maintainable — the complexity is kept out of your way, so your team can keep using the tool long after the project is done.

How I work

  • Direct — you work with the person building the tool, start to finish.
  • Confidential — sensitive commercial material is handled carefully and never shown without permission.
  • Handover-first — every deliverable is editable and yours to keep.
  • Plain-spoken — no jargon, no theatre, no complexity for its own sake.
Bring the mess. Leave with a working tool.

Let's build something you'll actually use.
