Who Are You?

Māia
Māia is bravery, grounded in knowledge. Tangata whenua crossed the Pacific Ocean with māia because they weren’t just brave, they read the stars. And we empower clients with knowledge so they can be brave too. We embrace discomfort. We challenge everything, and help our clients do the same. We can only change the status-quo by asking uncomfortable questions.
Kaupapa Māori
We’re deeply connected to Aotearoa and its people, so the principles of kaupapa Māori, are essential to what we do.
Diversity
We believe in diversity of culture, and diversity of thought. Because there’s strength in difference.
Go with your gut
We believe in energy and following your gut. If we’re getting vibes, they mean something.
Craft
Everything can be crafted, carved, and chiseled to reveal a richer story, or a stronger purpose. We are masters of our craft and are always learning.
