About us? Well, we’re all about you.

You’ve landed here because you want to know more about who you’ll be working with - fair.

We’re a team of passionate creatives, bouncing off each other's strengths to ensure you get the best experience possible.

We’ve been in the game since 2016, so there’s no smoke and mirrors when we talk about our level of expertise. We’ve helped hundreds of business owners get their presence online, and we aren’t slowing down anytime soon.
We geek out over analytics, jump up and down when we see your sales and enquiries rolling in, and pour our hearts and creative little souls into every project we take on.

Empowering you

is what drives us.

Inspiring Design is based in the gorgeous Blueskin Bay, about 25km north of Dunedin. We moved back to New Zealand from Bali when the pandemic first hit with our five tamariki, which was a stressful but rewarding experience. We’re happy to be home and working from such a stunning studio - come and see us!

COVID has shown us the importance of being online and being able to operate under adverse circumstances. We make sure to ‘covid-proof’ all our designs, to help you have the best possible chances at thriving, no matter what is thrown at you. 

  • Ngahuia Crossman

    FOUNDER & DESIGNER

    Raised in an environment with an artistic influence, my mother is a stone carver, my father a woodcarver, and both grandparents painters. You could say art was in my DNA. My business journey started as a fashion stylist. As the years went on, I felt more inspired and connected to the designers and clients I was working for. I decided to change direction and completely rebranded and taught myself Graphic and Web Design. (thanks, google) I discovered I had more passion for shining a light on other creatives and bringing their vision to life. So here we are, three countries, five kids and eight years later.

  • Steph Marshall

    BRAND MANAGER

    Branding can be a stressful part of your business, especially when you’re just starting out. But good branding goes beyond technical design skill and pretty aesthetics. The pressure to have a gorgeous colour palette or eye-catching Instagram feed forces many business owners to overlook the most important thing when it comes to branding: intention.

    I’ve faced my fair share of imposter syndrome and understand how hard it can be. I want to support as many individuals as possible and build their confidence through good branding.
