A little fairy hello. Hello there. I'm your Brella Keeper. I live in the rainforest, under the umbrella, tucked between four worlds that are still being built — Drive, Home, Self & Family, and Work. And right now, you're stepping into the place where all of that is actually happening. Not the finished version. The real one, mid-build, with the scaffolding still showing. This community is where UnderBrella is being made, branch by branch, world by world, by someone who started with nothing but an idea and a stubborn refusal to give up on it. You're here for the making, not just the finished product. That's rarer, and it matters. So here's what you'll find under here with me: The real progress, including the messy bits The thinking behind each world as it takes shape A founder doing this solo, sharing it as it happens rather than waiting for perfect I'll be popping in and out — wandering between worlds, the way I always do. Sometimes I'll have something to say, sometimes I'll just be there. Welcome to the build. Welcome under the brella. UnderBrella. A tracker for your life. We got yohttps://underbrella.com.auUnderBrella.com.auu covered.

Three things happened in one day. I had an interview at a new dealership that morning — eighteen years in automotive sales across South East Queensland, and still walking in nervous, because that never really goes away. That same day, I got the call confirming my place in a small business coaching program. And by the time I got home that evening, I had a head full of ideas for a business I'd been carrying around for years, no clear way to actually build it. So I did something simple. I googled AI tools. That search led me to Claude, and that night is genuinely where UnderBrella started moving from idea to reality. In the time since, I've built two products simultaneously: UnderBrella, an Australian life-tracker and marketplace platform organised around four worlds — Drive, Home, Self & Family, and Work — and DrivDesk, a dealership floor management system built from eighteen years of watching what actually goes wrong on a car yard floor. I share this because founder stories often get polished into something tidier than the truth. Mine started with an overwhelmed evening, a search bar, and a decision not to do it alone. That's the honest version, and I think it's worth telling. If you're building something solo and feel like you're starting from scratch with no resources — you're probably closer than you think. Sometimes the start is just deciding to ask for help. #FounderStory #SmallBusiness #Australia #Entrepreneurship#UnderBrella
