About

I'm Tui, a multidisciplinary artist and designer based in Aotearoa New Zealand. Through design, I enjoy collaborating closely with clients to tell their stories clearly and honestly. With my original artwork and ceramics, I hope to offer moments of relief from the everyday, or a sense of recognition, where someone sees a little of themselves reflected back.

I whakapapa to Kāi Tahu, with roots in Murihiku. Growing up near Riverton on the south coast shaped my respect for whenua, materials, and that sense of place continues to inform how I work and how I relate to people.

I was raised by two creative parents and making has always been a way of life rather than a choice. Creating is something I'm driven to do again and again, but I believe collaboration is where ideas evolve and deepen.

If you have a project in mind, or a story you'd like to bring into form, I'd love to hear from you.
