As the Director of Big River Creative, an award-winning design studio based in Kilbirnie, Wellington, I am committed to delivering exceptional design and creative solutions that resonate with speed, excellence, and aroha (love). My leadership at Big River Creative is driven by a passion for crafting engaging and impactful experiences, tailored for the diverse communities of Aotearoa.I hold a Master of Business from Auckland University of Technology and a Master of UX Design from Victoria University of Wellington. These qualifications have equipped me with a deep understanding of business, marketing, and user experience design, enabling me to blend strategic thinking with creative execution effectively. My academic journey reflects my dedication to excellence and lifelong learning, underscoring my approach to leadership at Big River Creative.At the core of my professional journey is a deep passion for designing solutions that serve our communities and developing brands with a global reach. This vision is brought to life not just through my efforts, but owing greatly to the talented team I have the pleasure of working with. While in my younger days, an ambition might have driven me to scale an agency to rival giants like Saatchi & Saatchi, my focus has shifted towards valuing being small and great. We prioritise relationships over transactional engagements, believing that true greatness comes from depth, not just breadth.If this resonates with you, then let's connect.
