Bridging the Culture x Creative gap

TAIDES exists to bringing together identity, story, and contemporary design in a way that feels both grounded and forward-looking. It’s about creating uniquely inspiring or impactful work that respects where it comes from, while communicating clearly in today’s world.

Engaging with Te Ao Māori

This is something that has to come naturally. Working with whakapapa, mātauranga, taonga tuku iho – all come secondary to; does this fit the kaupapa? do we have the right people in the room? and how will this benefit hapori Māori? Seems serious, can be. But we work through it with aroha.

Studio of one, but growing

Currently we're a studio of one, which means we value direct 1:1 relationships without the layers of bureaucracy or project managers—keeping the process clear, responsive, and grounded in trust. At the same time, it’s always growing, expanding skills and building a wider network to take on bigger opportunities when needed.

  • "The team at TAIDE worked with me throughout the design process, asking questions, presenting content, and modifying where necessary so that I ultimately got exactly what I was looking for.
