new to you
Good things come in small packages. So don't be fooled by our size, we do big things for big brands. We are a group of designers based in Auckland and we believe that presentation is everything. Our success story can be credited to many things, but we like to think it's because of our friendly approach and polished design. We get a buzz out of creating a concept that works for you. If you're happy, we're happy. We offer reasonable prices and we pat ourselves on the back for sticking to our deadlines. And yeah...we do love going to the movies on cheap Tuesdays, but building brands is our obsession.
I'm a passionate designer who graduated from Media Design School in 2009, specialising in Motion Graphics and Design. With a few years of experience under my belt, working with companies like Air NZ, Vodafone and Les Mills. I play an important part in the design process of all our creative projects. I love design with a polished finish.
I've been mucking around with print and branding for the last 6 years. I'm into creating design that works. I think it's important that businesses present their brand well and I believe that every business has the potential to do better. I have a passion for business and presentation.
Since my Media Design School days in 2009 where I studied Web Development, I had this inspiration to continue to learn. I now find myself studying a Business Degree at Auckland Uni, while developing pimped out web designs at Varnish. I have a passion for web development and clean code.
I'm the rose between the thorns, the glue that holds the paper together - that's right, I'm the chief editor and pretty administrator lady all rolled together in one. I make sure all the i's are dotted and t's crossed.
