I am the founder and creative behind Mahi Design Ltd – a boutique web design and development studio that helps small businesses and start-ups look amazing online and make tech work for them.

With over a decade of hands-on experience in design, development, business management, marketing, customer service, and teaching, I bring a uniquely well-rounded skillset to the table. I hold multiple qualifications in these areas, and I’ve worked with a wide range of clients – from solo entrepreneurs to growing businesses – helping them create websites that are not only beautiful and user-friendly but also genuinely effective.

I specialise in WordPress and custom coding using JavaScript, PHP, and CSS – meaning I don’t just make things look good, I make them function exactly how you need them to. Whether it’s building something from scratch, refining an existing site, or developing custom features, I help clients get the most out of their digital presence.

Mahi Design was officially launched in 2020 on the West Coast of New Zealand, just as I was preparing for the next big adventure – family life. It was the perfect time to create a business that combined my love for creativity and problem-solving with the flexibility to work from home.

In late 2021, I moved back to my hometown of Timaru to be closer to whānau, and Mahi Design has grown alongside our little family. Now with two cheeky, creative children under four, life is busier than ever – and so is business! I feel incredibly lucky to be doing work I love while helping other passionate business owners bring their ideas to life, without breaking the bank.

At Mahi Design, it’s not just about building websites. It’s about empowering people with the tools and confidence to take charge of their brand online – and having a bit of fun along the way.
