About

I started my creative journey in 2008, designing simple marketing materials for local businesses. What began with flyers and business cards quickly evolved into complete brand identities, corporate design systems, magazines, brochures, advertising campaigns, and every type of printed communication. As digital became the future, I evolved with it. Today I combine design, development, and artificial intelligence to build complete digital products, from the first sketch to a fully deployed SaaS platform. I enjoy working where creativity meets technology, transforming ideas into products that people genuinely use.

Hi Product Hunt, I’m Cristian — building Orkely for freelancers and small businesses

I m an independent developer working on practical tools for freelancers and small businesses. My main focus right now is Orkely, a Windows app for managing clients, projects, tasks, expenses, proposals, and invoices, with data stored locally and no subscription.

I m also building a simple Windows video editor that helps people turn images and text into animated videos for their businesses. The Visual Ideas website is temporarily mostly offline while I sort out a DNS issue after GoDaddy rotated a DNSSEC key, so the site may not load reliably right now.
