Co Founder
Raised in an environment with an artistic influence, a mother who is a stone carver, father a woodcarver, and both grandparents painters. You could say art is in Ngahuia’s DNA. Her business journey started as a fashion stylist and as the years went on, she felt more inspired and connected to the designers and clients she was working for. Ngahuia then decided to change direction and completely rebranded and taught herself Graphic and Web Design (thanks google). Here she discovered she had more passion for shining a light on other creatives and bringing their vision to life. Three countries, five kids and eight years later, Ngahuia is living her brand.
