Small by design, big on results
Our team
Our co-directors, Abby and Emily, first met while studying together in 2015, and kept in touch over the years for support, connection and plenty of coffee! In early 2022 the Iconic Moment happened: during a design summit, the pair realised they shared the same vision, passion and commitment to customer experiences.
Somewhere up in the clouds a giant lightbulb went on - and Kōwhai Creative was born.
