Storytelling was such a big part of this story with the brands wider mission of helping NZers to rethink their relationship with ownership. Helping families to tread lightly from day dot with a revolving wardrobe is grown out, not worn out!

This was a 2021 lockdown project and I LOVED working with Annie and Anna at some points we were spread across 2 countries and 3 locations!!

The entire approach to the curation of this brand from the identity to the website was to consider the use of space and create a digital experience that feels warm, calm and restrained.​ Experimenting with colours inspired by interior paint palettes and contrasting warm and cool neutral tones, we wanted the backdrop to be a neutral canvas for distinctive and considered elements mirroring AG D. design approach.

Our latest KINSHIP conversation is live and this fortnight we share the wisdom of Michele Wilson a powerhouse māmā on a mission and co-founder of - New Zealand’s first period-proof underwear company.

If you are yet to discover AWWA not only is their product AMAZING (yes they really work and I'm obsessed with them) but they tick so many boxes for me;
✅ a sustainable ethical product that is made for all sizes and cultures
✅ diverse imagery that includes brown girls, curvy girls and tattooed girls (I feel seen 🥰)
✅ a passionate commitment to end period poverty
✅ they've recently announced that they're carbon positive.

But what I love the most about Michele is not only that she's a big thinker who gets s**t done but that she draws on the principles of te ao Māori to inspire, innovate and ripple throughout her businesses and her success speaks for itself.

So proud of my dear friend and long term client Blanche who’s been nominated for NZ’s Matariki awards in the Business and Innovation category. Her vision, determination and depth to which she cares continues to inspire me today!! I’ve never met a woman more deserving of success and abundance than Blanche who does as much inner work as she does the outer work (which is a lot 🤣) ✨✨✨ so much gratitude you invited me onto your wild ride 🤪

Two high achievers are on the Matariki awards short lists.

I thought I'd share some of my favourite books that I have read and loved and that have shaped how I think about my business and the work that I do. An important part of learning about business is realising that no reading list can do the work for you. So learn with intention and take action with heart ⚡
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
1️⃣ The Soul of Money // Lynne Twist
Discusses the energetics of earning and spending money told through the lens of Lynne’s compelling journey as a global activist and fundraiser (like when she met Mother Theresa whaaaat 🤯).
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
2️⃣ The Law of Attraction // Esther Hicks
This OG book is must read for anyone who wants to consciously create their experience and is ready to manifest. Great accompaniments to this book to get into alignment are Abraham Hicks vids on YouTube.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
3️⃣ The Seven Spiritual Laws of Success // Deepak Chopra
A pocket sized book that takes an HOUR (yes one hour) to read helping you to realise success is way more than a material experience.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
4️⃣ How To Be An Antiracist // Ibram X. Kendi
A powerful book that shows how you can take individual anti racist action with a smooth linking to the authors own personal struggles.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
5️⃣ The E Myth // Michael E. Ge**er
Ok this is a businessy business book BUT it's an easy read and very impactful; highlighting the difference between owning a business and being an entrepreneur as well as the importance of working ON your business and not just IN your business.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
6️⃣ The War of Art // Steven Pressfield
The essential no-bulls**t guide for anyone who battles self-doubt or struggles to bring any important project to life.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I need some inspiration so share below the books that have inspired your in your life and business below 👇🏽🤓🐛📚

I oscillate between being outrageously creative, inspired, motivated and productive and then staring at my screen with my fingers hovering frozenly over the keyboard for what feels like hours.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
When I’m feeling stuck, frustrated or overwhelmed always start by going within first. Use your inner tools to reset and then flow from there.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
For me that’s meditation, journaling, listening to LOUD ASS music, going for a walk in nature around my house, doing some breath work. Then I’ll see what inspiration bubbles up and take action from a more connected and activated space.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Permission Slip: Sometimes the inspiration is for me to close my laptop for the day and I have to remind myself that rest is also productive and to value flow not force.
