How Wonderbird works
It’s a creative collaboration. I include you in the full process:
We are working together. Throughout our creative process there is a healthy dose of communication between you and me. There is no grand reveal at the end — that you have to love no matter what — instead, there are many collaborative steps along the way to ensure that all our ideas are part of your project’s great end result.
A flexible team of creatives offering the ease of a one-stop creative shop!
I collaborate with other wonderful creatives throughout New Zealand to ensure that your project is completed to the highest level — this includes, illustrators, videographers and spatial designers and we work on projects large and small.
Thank you Jane Goodall.
Featured Story — The Jane Goodall Institute of New Zealand asked me again to support them in photographing some of Dr Jane Goodall’s visit to New Zealand. It sure feels good to photograph events and people that mean a lot to me. Putting my skills to use in the arena of Effecting-Positive-Change.
