About Us

Kaaterina and Tai Kerekere are a creative art and design duo based in Uawa, Tolaga Bay on the beautiful sunny East Coast of Gisborne, Aotearoa.

A boutique creative consultancy, with each to their own unique and distinctive styles, Kaaterina and Tai both navigate creative systems, offering one-of-a-kind works, tailoring processes and working style to fit the needs of people and place.

When they speak to creative, art and design expertise, they’re offering an extensive approach through a wide range creative mediums, from digital design (print, motion graphic), painting, fine adornment, metal, clay, sculpture, including the important creative narrative and concept development.

From their home based business, they work collaboratively on the majority of their projects, to maximise potential of design and creative streams. 

As dedicated professionals, designers and artists, they have grown and developed in the design and art industry over the past 20 years, building a strong portfolio and just as important, strong, enduring relationships and networks.

As well as contracted work and projects, they are true community people, whom give their time and expertise to support their whānau, hapū, iwi and communities. Whether that being as trustees on boards, project leaders, or offering their puna of expertise to build, strengthen and flourish the various kaupapa that weaves throughout their communities. They’re also great ‘cup-of-tea makers’, they bake mean biscuits and cakes for hui, and they’re pretty good with the tea towel tasks – oh and must not forget, Tai does a great BBQ!
