Ko Ngāpuhi, Ngāti Kahu me Te Rarawa okū Iwi,

Ko Mitch toku ingoa,

Ko Mana Ake toku kaupapa

I love creating, especially digital and graphic design. I also love wananga and spaces that tautoko hauora.

I feel so blessed that within this mahi I get to explore te Ao Maori and the spiritual and sacred significance of how we communicate in design and art and how important our voice is in our own story-telling.

I live out west in Tāmaki Makaurau with my amazing wife and our adorable fur babies Nixon, Millie, Mateiao and Hemi Jnr.

At Mana Ake - Kaupapa Creative we have a passion for uplifting people and a passion for our māori culture here in Aotearoa, New Zealand.

We believe in the transformative power of connection, whānau, whakapapa and matauranga.

We aim to tautoko and empower our communities and kaupapa māori through mahitoi and mahiaroha.

Mana Ake is creative kaupapa focused on digital mahitoi that indigenises our spaces.

Mauri ora!
