Create something special

Kreativkitchen specialises in branding and logo design for small to medium-sized businesses and wedding stationery, but we're always up for learning a new dish.
Just like cooking - it's not always about the food itself, it's also the company you share it with. We like to think our clients are friends, and it's always a pleasure to cook with others who feel the same way.

We have used Kreativkitchen's design services for four different businesses that we are involved in. Kreativkitchen is very easy to deal with, professional and very helpful. They made a real effort to understand our business, listen to us, offer suggestions (on points we never thought of) and still managed to provide us the look and feel we wanted. We certainly found they were very helpful, even with our rushed deadlines with "can we just change one more thing...".
It is good to engage a firm that doesn't make you feel like just another number. Highly recommended.
To create something for a perfectionist and someone that already knows exactly what she wants takes some talent, and Kreativkitchen has it. I can wholeheartedly say that I ABSOLUTELY LOVE my logo and the other designs, I am proud to display them. Maria took my vision and limited brief and in less than a week and in only one draft created my vision into reality, and it is better than I could have imagined.
I am so happy with how this whole experience turned out, and I would recommend their services to anyone.

Kreativkitchen is Maria's baby. Driven by her love of beautiful things, Maria founded Kreativkitchen in early 2013. Aside from her love of design, Maria is really into birds, travel, and planting things in her garden.
Born and raised in Germany, Maria is Kiwi by choice. She studied graphic design and web design in Düsseldorf, Germany. After working as digital media designer, graphic pre-press worker and typographer in Germany, Maria moved to New Zealand and was employed as graphic designer for two years before setting up Kreativkitchen in Otatara, Southland.
One of Maria's passions apart from graphic design is travelling - she loves discovering different cultures, picking up bits and pieces of the local languages and just enjoying the countryside. She loves baking, cooking and preserving, and is also into Maori flax weaving, book binding, photography, tramping and birds. Did I mention birds? She really digs birds.
Maria's favourite quote is Mark Twain's "Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn't do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbour. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover."
With eight years experience working on the web, Andy can help polish up your online presence.
Andy is a mad Formula 1 fan and enjoys road trips, words, tramping and playing guitar in his lounge just quiet enough so the neighbours can't hear.
When not writing about himself in the third person, you'll find Andy gawking at pictures of remote wooden cabins, and making plans for his very own. He tends to worry about humanity when he doesn't get a courtesy wave after letting someone merge on the road (and gets a small thrill when they deliver), and likes to smile and say hello to people he passes on a quiet street.
Andy's favourite quote (at the moment): "Experience is simply the name we give our mistakes."- Oscar Wilde

Need some design goodies? Have a question? Found a typo? If you are building a new brand and don't know where to start, or if you are planning for your perfect big day, feel free to flick me an email and we can either arrange a consultation and enjoy a cuppa here in Welly, or we can chat over email if you are tied up with family and/or work commitments.

You don't need us to tell you how special your wedding is. It's your day to celebrate your shared love with each other, and with close friends and family.
It's your occasion, so why not have it your way? Wedding stationery that reflects your partnership and style. Something that you can feel connected to, and infinitely proud of.
More than just a ceremony, your wedding begins from the first save-the-date, and ends when the last thank you card is read. Every interaction with your guests should be in harmony with your plans for the day, and be a testament to the beauty and significance of the occasion. Call it a theme, or even a wedding 'brand' - this is yours to own, and something you just have to love.
Kreativkitchen takes great care and pride in customising your wedding stationery / paraphernalia so it's entirely yours. It makes sense to have us look after everything you'll need, so the style remains consistently beautiful throughout. Just drop us a line.
Not sure where to start? Have a snoop in our portfolio, you'll find some appetisers that might get the ideas flowing. Use some, all or none of these at your leisure - we custom design to match your style.
