Designs on Buller Kawatiri

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

Visualising West Coast Tourism

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 Natural Burial Ground Sign

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.
