Took me a few years to figure out where I fit, but when I landed in art and design… it just clicked. I ended up doing a Bachelor of Creative Industries, and that’s where graphic design properly got its hooks into me.

Since then, it’s been more than just design. It’s become my way of telling stories and weaving mātauranga Māori into everything I create. It keeps me grounded in who I am, while still moving with the pace of the digital world.

I make sure every design carries real meaning, not just looks good. It’s about honouring where we come from while creating work that feels right for today.

Tā moko is a big part of that. I’ve spent the last 10 years in that space, learning and carrying the responsibility that comes with it.

I’m also big on passing that knowledge on, what’s been shared with me isn’t mine to keep.
