We are co-founders of The Urban Habitat Collective, an initiative with the goal of building a cohousing apartment block together, to provide homes for 23 households. We needed an approachable, positive brand that would convey the dream, while reassuring potential newbies that we’d get the project across the finish line.
All-round good-guy Richie Hill is one of the most highly qualified arboriculturists in New Zealand. His consultancy service was operating mostly by word-of-mouth; his new website takes him out of the trees and onto the screen, giving him the digital presence needed to reinforce and spread awareness of his expertise.
Transcript Divas are an established transcription service, operating successfully in New York. We designed a simple wordmark and an engaging, easy to use website, ensuring potential clients have absolute transparency around the cost of a transcription job from the word go.

CORA designs building services which provide comfortable, healthy and safe internal environments. They believe the built environment should improve the natural world and we heartily agree. We built them a new website to showcase their body of work, increase their profile and further the uptake of Passive House standard in Wellington.
Starting with a long, super-technical document, we honed Open Data Model’s data governance explanation into a snappy two-page marketing site. Their product is so specialised that if you don’t get it in these two pages, then you’re probably not the target audience. The live site features an interactive constellation playing on the biline, “total data control at your fingertips”. Click through and have a play.

The Collective Project was a political action group with the goal of amplifying progressive voices on our streets, in the media and in politics. They’re our kind of people, and we’re super proud to have supported their cause.
Hannah was commissioned to illustrate a map of New Zealand and an illustration reflecting Glenorchy itself, both of which are on display in the Camp Glenorchy cabins, and for sale in Mrs Wooly’s General Store.
Wonderful, mind-bogglingly creative multi-potentialite, Bonnie DeGros, needed labels for her Good Gut Feeling ferments. We love Bonnie, sauerkraut, kimchi and drawings of food – the stars aligned!
Sustainability Trust’s Annual Report is traditionally in poster-format. The problem is that no-one really wants a dry company report hanging on their wall. We made a three dimensional paper-cut model of a house filled with detailed elements to use as the base of an infographic. This facts and figures are now engaging and an artwork in themselves. The client was thrilled, and Hannah was too – a whole week cutting and pasting? Dreamland!
Gunmetal is a New Zealand lighting and grip equipment/services company servicing the local and international motion picture industry. Byron Sparrow and Jamie Couper are super experienced and needed a slick, simple website to reflect this.
In her massage clinic, Sally Flewelling discovered that patients who practiced yoga healed quicker than those who didn’t. She started meridian moves to teach clients which meridians they’re moving and how this affects them physically, energetically and emotionally. The brief was for a modern, fun brand that was a departure from the standard yoga logos.
Becky and Dan came to us wanting an illustration for wedding invitations. They brought a list of things about themselves, their histories, work, hobbies and relationship to include – they both dance swing, love Dr Who and Settlers of Catan. Dan studied rattlesnakes, Becky Scottish history. They resulting illustration is a representation of their lives together.
Sustainability Trust launched their fantastic “Your Sustainable Workplace” programme, helping businesses tackle waste reduction. They approached us needing a brand and suite of collateral including reports, information sheets, slides and posters which could be easily customised for participating businesses’ outcomes.

We reckon we did our bit to help win young, progressive councillor Sam Broughton‘s Mayoral Campaign for Selwyn in 2016 and again in 2019. Sam needed an advertising campaign for his Mayoral bid which reflected his values and personality. The campaign we came up with together focussed on his approachability, capability, and vision for the future. Clearly a winning combination.
Ruth Askren’s LA apiary business, The Hive Tribe, was growing, and it was time for her brand name and visual identity to reflect the true nature of her business. Her new branding and website achieves a look that is earthy, raw and tribal, while still being slick enough to work in a big-city context.
