Kia ora! I'm Tui.

Growing up exploring the rock pools of the rugged south coast, many of my works convey time spent at the beach and a love of the outdoors, particulary Te Waipounamu, the South Island of New Zealand.

I studied graphic design in Christchurch and recieved my diploma during the 2011 earthquakes, completing my studies from assorted garages around the redzone. More recently I have graduated from S.I.T with a diploma in animation and have already begun putting this skill to use (watch this space!) 

I am influenced by the work of my parents and was lucky to have had a creative childhood. I'll be the first to admit that 'growing up' has been shoved to the back-burner section of my to-do list. My whakapapa links to Kāi Tahu Māori, English, Irish and Scottish ancestry, but I consider myself a citizen of the world who values creativity and connection.
