ko wai mātou

Tukara Matthews

Tēnā koe, ko Tukara Matthews ahau. I’m a freelance designer, illustrator, and creative from Tauranga moana.
 

I have been creatively transforming businesses and organizations for nearly 20 years, drawing on my experience as an in-house, agency, and freelance designer. By blending this expertise with my understanding of te ao Māori, our cultural designs and tohu, I create authentic Māori design solutions that truly resonate with their audiences.

 
Almost all of my design work comes from repeat clients and referrals—a testament to the trust and strong relationships I build with those I work with. I take pride in creating designs that not only meet but exceed expectations, ensuring they are meaningful, culturally authentic, and strategically effective. My clients know they can rely on me to deliver quality work that resonates with their audience, which is why they continue to return and recommend me to others.
