ABOUT ME & MY CREATIVE SERVICES

MY STORY

I love working with people to bring out their authenticity & passion for their story, product or service through Fine-Art, Graphic Design, Illustration & Creative problem solving.

I love the concept of ‘creative freedom’ and helping others achieve the same through their business or idea. I want to help people follow their dreams so that they can live their life on their terms doing and creating what they love.

I started my studio because I realised life is too short and too precious to not follow your dreams from the get-go.  I’m a free spirit who loves nature and the sense of peace that a rural community provides. I’ve found that this is where I’m happiest and where my creativity flows best.

I absolutely love, working with holistic-minded lifestyle brands, fellow creatives and businesses that hold meaningful visions for the world. It’s important to me to partner with brands whose values resonate with my own.

I promise to support and nurture all of my client’s brands, dreams and visions as if they are my own. It’s important to me to also include my clients in my creative process to ensure that they feel understood and supported as we work together.

EXTRA INFO

Here is a little bit more about me & my creative studio before we begin working together.

  • I love my job because it allows me to express my creativity in a free and adventurous way! I love that I can help and support people who are chasing their dreams. It is so important to me to be a service that fills an important need. So thank you!

  • I am constantly inspired by nature and my experiences in it. Along with, Art-History, travel, personal growth and my animals.

  • I’m a country, wilderness lover! I’ve lived rurally for the majority of my life. I’ve given city life a go, but I feel more aligned when I’m surround by nature and animals. A passion of mine is exploring untouched and raw environments such as the Tein Shan Mountain and the Isles of Scotland. I hope to be able to do more of this and be inspired by it in the future. I value experiences and small moments within the day. This is why I feel so grateful to work from a rural environment, because it allows me to continue my love for travel and adventure and still create to fillful others visions.

  • My horses, Cherub, Blue, Bear, Caruba, Johnny and squirt and little Zeus! My dogs, Nuka, Ted, Sprout & Milly. Odysseus the cat! Being outdoors in nature. I also love beautiful textiles, National Geographic, Natural History museums, pottery, jewellery design and planning an epic adventure.

  • You’ll find me somewhere outdoors, spending time with my partner Gray and family, riding my horses, working on the farm, reading, painting, looking at the stars or planning a trip!

  • I graduated with 1st class honours in Design (Visual communication) at Massey University in Wellington. I also completed an exchange programme with the University of Dundee in Scotland. whilst I was abroad, I also took part in some botanical drawing courses at Oxford.

    In 2021 I was awarded the National Youth WSA print award for my experimental woodcut print titled ‘Change’.

  • I had the pleasure of working with Kate for my new business branding. From the very first contact until when the branding was delivered she was very professional, friendly and not to mention super talented. She created the most beautiful branding and it was so hard to pick from the options she gave me. Communication was great throughout and she really listened to me and what I wanted in my branding and ended up creating something beautiful. Would 10/10 recommend Kate and her business.

    Chelsea Morrison - Raised In Beige

  • Kate was a dream to work with. She took so much care to listen to my vision and brand values, and craft something timeless I know I will love for many years to come. I felt she really cared passionately about creating my perfect brand. Her communication and support whenever I have questions (still) is exceptional. I would not hesitate to recommend Kate Cregoe Design.

    Rebecca Greaves

  • As an illustrator Kate was absolutely amazing and was just such a pleasure to work with! Right from the first phone conversation we had I felt that she completely “got” what we were about. She was regularly in touch throughout the process, making the effort to get to know our family and adding the most beautiful, personal touches to the imagery. The stunning illustrations have completely exceeded my expectations and I look forward to working with Kate again!

    Oma Rapiti

  • Kate is a breath of fresh air to work with. She understood immediately what I wanted and was not afraid to present a wide range of ideas and images. Her work captured and exceeded what I had envisaged. Kate is a rare talent. I highly recommend her.

    Stu Devine - Devine Wine

  • I can not rate Katecregoedesign more highly. Kates professionalism, support and communication throughout her creating my pieces of art is faultless. I have been really pleased with the stunning portraits I received. They more then met my expectations and was shipped quickly, packaged and protected well. The artwork is such a beautiful addition to my home. Thank you for sharing your creative gift Kate. I look forward to your future works. Thank you!
