Hendrik Louw

I design kiosks and print collateral for small food and retail businesses, and I help software teams ship with AI. Johannesburg, working across South Africa.

What I do

See your kiosk before you pay a shopfitter to build it

From R9 500 · full pack in ten working days

Photoreal renders, a 3D model you turn around on your phone, and a builder's pack with a cut list and a rand shopping list. Any shopfitter in the country can price it line by line, or you build it yourself.

Menus, banners and labels that come back from the printer looking like the screen

From R1 500 · first draft in two working days

Press ready files measured by software before they leave, with a spec sheet for your printer so nothing is guessed. Pull ups, large format banners, posters, stickers, labels and mall proposals.

AI assisted engineering that ships

Workshops and audits for software teams

Agent loops, guardrails and release gates worked through in your own codebase, by a staff engineer who runs them in production every day.

Proof

Fable, a gourmet popcorn brand at Mall of the North in Polokwane, runs on work from this studio: the kiosk family from a 3 by 3 metre island to a 4 by 4 with a canopy, 46 print jobs since September including an 8.5 metre menu banner, the cart proposal to the mall's leasing team, and a stamp card loyalty app on Android and iOS.

Before that, five years leading engineering at a UK telehealth company and a current platform engagement for a US biotech. Details on the engineering page.
