Well this is exciting. We’ve launched the first Identity for Buller Kawatiri district. I led a design team of myself, Raramai Adcock, and Tonihi Paewhenua to create a visual tool kit free to use as a way to promote Buller Kawatiri as a place to live work and play. Check out the flip book below to learn about the thinking behind the design. https://heyzine.com/flip-book/9a307fbdc4.html#page/1
Here are a few examples of how I use my visual thinking skills to support local projects I love.

A memory of a great worker
A blast from the past back to Covid days in Paekakariki
As the new communicator of the Business Group – Little Wanganui to Karamea, I attended the West Coast Tourism Summit Manaakitanga ki te Tai o Poutini hosted by Development West Coast. It was packed full of insights and opportunities to connect. Because I can’t help it, I summed up my take on it all with a quick visual – that’s 24 speakers on one page!. You can download a higher resolution copy of the visual here. Curious about more detail? just drop me a line or check out the DWC link above.

Karamea, my home town, has a beautiful new Natural Burial Ground. I was asked to design a sign for the site. That was a challenging and rewarding to work on this kaupapa. Now I am on the committee to make sure this treasure is sustained for our community.
The final sign design.
Lockdown had some positive naturally creative outcomes for me. Its all written up here https://paekakariki.nz/liana-stupples-lockdown-challenge-to-paint-every-day/
And now, I have made some prints and cards of my nature inspired watercolour paintings.
The cards are blank and are $40 for ten, including postage. You can order a mix or just the ones you want. Just drop me an email liana.stupples@gmail.com or message me @liana.stupples. They feature icons of the town I live in, Paekakariki. And the Pohutakawa, Harekeke and Kakariki have a nice red and green xmasy vibe.
You can check out my instagram to see some more of the art works, most of which are available as high quality prints from $20-50.
