I design strategic brand identities that win trust, attract customers, and drive growth.

Studio Kona is a Wellington-based design studio, working across design and photography. Every project starts the same way with a real conversation about what your business actually stands for, before a single design decision gets made.

why work with me

A brief tells me what you want. A conversation tells me why. I work from the second one — designing and shooting everything myself, so the idea stays intact from strategy to final image.

When I'm Not Designing

My best ideas don't happen at a desk — they happen on a windy walk with the dog, mid-shot, or over coffee somewhere in Wellington. Stepping away from the screen isn't downtime. It's part of the process.
