I am a Māori wahine and designer committed to uplifting te ao Māori through creative mahi. I began my reo journey at Te Herenga Waka Marae and continue to deepen my love for all things te ao Māori through community involvement in the arts. From kōwhaiwhai design for our whare tūpuna, Hikia te Ao, to kaupapa‑driven creative projects, my work reflects whakapapa, wairua, and connection to whenua and moana
