01A letter from the CEO
Nopera Whitley

This is your moment. If you run a business — or you’re the kind of person who’s always building something — you can feel it. The tools have changed. The work that’s eaten your weeks for years — the admin, the chasing, the firefighting — can finally be cleared away, and the ideas you never had time for are suddenly within reach.

I’ve spent my whole life around businesses like yours. I started my first web businesses in high school, almost twenty years ago, and I’ve been building ever since — companies, products, and the technology underneath them. For fourteen of those years, I worked alongside Noknok — the studio Nikki built — on software, brand, and websites, for owners across Australia and New Zealand.

In nearly every one, I saw the same thing — capable people stuck in the day-to-day, with no room left for the reason they started.

Then AI reached the point where that could change. Nikki had been building it into design for years; I’d gone deep on what it could do. We were looking at the same shift from two directions. So we started again, and called it Anathallo — to flourish again.

Anathallo exists to clear that weight — and then help you build what you’ve always wanted to. This is your moment. Let’s build on it.

Fourteen years inside small businesses. The last three deep in AI. Most people who understand one don’t understand the other.

That overlap is the whole job.

Co-founder & CEO

What still hooks me is taking the thing someone has been turning over for years and building it. I’ve spent nineteen years building businesses and products.

I studied science — psychology — and I still work that way: form a hypothesis, test it, follow the evidence, not the hype. What people want isn’t someone to nod along — it’s someone in the room to think the problem through with them.

Most ambitious people aren’t short of ideas. They’re buried under the low-value work that eats the energy those ideas need. Used well, AI clears that work away. That’s only the start. I want to help people reach the work underneath — and build it with them.

Nikki Prokop

Co-founder & Creative Director

I’m a designer and creative director, but really a problem-solver — I love finding the way through a hard problem that isn’t the obvious one. How something looks and what it’s for have never been separate questions to me.

For years I’ve built AI into that work: brand-trained design systems, custom GPTs that hold a client’s voice, agents that act as in-house experts on a brand. Not to do the thinking for us — to draw the messy, half-formed ideas out and make them clear.

I care about AI that supports good design rather than flattening it. Most people have barely started.

03Mission & vision
Our vision

A world where humanity has the agency to flourish.

Our mission

To help owner-led businesses use AI to win back their time and agency — so they can build what they set out to build.

04Our values

What we hold to.

Humanity over profit

We take on work that helps people flourish, and turn down work that doesn’t.

Expertise over hype

We tell you where AI fits and where a simpler tool wins. No buzzwords doing the work.

Purpose over possibility

Just because AI can do something doesn’t mean it should. We build what serves the business, not what shows off the tech.

Care without compromise

We do the work properly, or not at all. No corners that come back to bite you.

05What we refuse

We won’t sell you AI for its own sake.

When the answer isn’t AI, we’ll tell you.

  • We won’t build AI to cut your team. The point is to free people, not replace them.
  • We won’t ship a quick system that’s dead in a year.
  • We won’t take on work we don’t believe in.
  • We won’t fake certainty. When the honest answer is “let’s test it,” that’s what you’ll get.
Work with us

Let’s talk about where AI belongs in your business.

A short conversation — no commitment beyond showing up. You’ll leave knowing the sensible next step.
