Kia ora, Ko Pākehā (Ingarangi, Aerana) te whakapaparanga mai, I tae mai ōku tupuna ki Pōneke i te tau 1860, ko Whangaparāoa te whenua tupu. Ko Pōneke te kāinga, ko Maher toku whānau, ko Shontay tōku ingoa. He Kaiwhakatauira whakanikniko au.

I hold a Bachelor of Media Design from Media Design School and a Level 5 certificate in Te reo Māori. I’m an enthusiastic individual who is eager to grow, create and connect with others. I love being involved in community and have previously worked as a Relationship Manager at The Wellington City Mission. I thrive in work that aligns with the value of care for people and earth.

Design is about taking a complex challenge and simplifying it. I love a design brief that feels like an abstract puzzle to solve, especially storytelling and visualising complex challenges using analytical design thinking.

I’m currently available for freelancing and would love to connect with you!
