Witehira (Tamahaki, Ngā Puhi, Ngāti Haua) explores how a Maori world-view and narrative can be used to shape all aspects of art and design in Aotearoa.

Witehira has worked on projects from creating the first Maori-alphabet block set for children, to collaborations in theatre, book cover designs, fashion, museums and Maori typeface. 

Witehira’s work has been shown both locally and internationally including the Talente Munich art and design Fair and Times Square in New York City.  In 2014 Witehira was commissioned to create a number of public artworks for the Wellington City Council including the Waituhi mural.
