Meet Our Financial Team
Real people who understand that budgeting doesn't have to be complicated. We're here to make your financial life simpler, not harder.
Built by People Who Actually Budget
You know that feeling when you open a budgeting app and it asks for 47 different categories before you can even start? We felt that too. That's exactly why we started lunastra-noviq.
Our team comes from real Australian households — people who've struggled with mortgage payments in Brisbane, saved for kids' school fees in Melbourne, and figured out how to make ends meet on a single income in Perth.
The People Behind lunastra-noviq
Three mates who turned their kitchen table conversations about money into something that actually helps people
Zephyr Blackwood
Co-founder & Product
Spent five years watching people struggle with overcomplicated budgeting tools. Now he designs features that actually make sense to normal humans. Has three kids and knows exactly how much school canteen money disappears each week.
Crispin Thornfield
Co-founder & Technology
Former bank systems analyst who got tired of building software that confused customers. Believes the best technology is the kind you don't notice. Still uses a physical notebook for his own budget planning.
Leander Ashcroft
Customer Success Lead
The person you talk to when something isn't working right. Used to run financial workshops in community centres around Sydney. Answers every email personally and remembers details about your specific situation.
What We Actually Care About
Keep It Simple
If it takes more than two clicks or needs a tutorial video, we've probably overcomplicated it. Good budgeting should feel natural.
Real Australian Life
We understand quarterly electricity bills, annual car registration, and the way Centrelink payments actually work. No generic American advice here.
Honest Conversations
Money stress is real. We're here to help reduce it, not make you feel guilty about that coffee purchase or judge your financial choices.
