Jason MetcalfeFounder, AL-Oose

AL-Oose is a New Zealand creative brand built around children's picture books, handmade art, and music — founded by Jason Metcalfe (also known as “AL-Oose”) to engage reluctant young readers through humorous rhyming stories and interactive storytelling.

FortifiLab designed and shipped the live storefront at al-oose.com — custom catalog, CMS, and integrated checkout — so books, art, and music could be presented and sold in one cohesive brand experience.
