Why PDINZ?
"For me, PDINZ is not only an acknowledgement of professionalism and creative leadership, but a commitment to Aotearoa's vibrant design community. It highlights the importance of fostering creativity and innovation, ambition and drive, partnership and collaboration. The accreditation couldn't have come at a better time for me. Seeking new challenges and motivated by collective effort, I recently moved to Berlin where I will continue to contribute meaningfully from abroad and hope to showcase the unique voice and perspectives of our creative industries to the world. To push boundaries in partnership with people and planet, and to amplify the creativity that stems from the rich cultural landscape of the place I will always call home. I am proud and grateful for this acknowledgement, and am excited to see where it takes me next."
