Testimonials

As Executive Director of the Waikato Wellbeing Project, I write to commend Kaz Design to you. We have worked closely with Karen May and the team at Kaz Design ever since we started the Waikato Wellbeing Project in 2020. In that time Kaz Design has led our process around brand development and ongoing redevelopment, website development, publication content creation, and communications. I have always found the Kaz team to be extremely professional, timely, imaginative, and creative, able to take my initial ideas and extend them in ways which I would not have been able to imagine myself- they are truly creative and design professionals! Please refer to our website for examples of the Kaz Design teamwork- specific examples include the following publications:
More recently, Karen and the team have helped us to create a new online interactive wellbeing knowledge portal, which we think is unique in New Zealand. Not only is this beautifully designed, it met and exceeded the brief exceptionally well, and again is a great example of how Karen and the team were able to take a rough concept and turn it into something excellent: Te Ara Poutama | Waikato Wellbeing Project (rocketspark.co.nz) I have no hesitation in commending the Kaz Design team to you for your initiative.
Harvey Brookes - Executive Director Waikato Wellbeing Project

“When our school embarked on a journey to rebrand, we knew we needed a partner who could not only capture our vision and values but also tell our school’s unique story and history through visuals.
From the moment we first met with the team at KAZ Design, it was clear that they were genuinely invested in our school’s success. They took the time to listen to us, gaining a deep understanding of who we are, what we stand for, and where we want to go. Their commitment to grasping the essence of our school set
the stage for a collaborative and creative partnership.
KAZ Design did an exceptional job in transforming our school’s vision, values, and motto into visually stunning graphics that align with our institution’s ethos. They were able to capture the essence of our school and create an elegant and unique brand identity.
One of the standout achievements was the redesign of our school logo. The new logo is a perfect representation of our school’s rich history and our modern aspirations. It’s a visual embodiment of who we are and has been embraced wholeheartedly by our school community.
KAZ Design demonstrated patience, flexibility, and a keen eye for detail throughout the project. They went the extra mile to ensure that every element of our brand accurately reflected our values and mission.
Their commitment to timeliness and communication made the rebranding process a smooth and enjoyable experience. They maintained an open line of dialogue with us, ensuring that we were involved and informed every step of the way.
The rebranding journey of our school has been successful, and we owe a large part of it to KAZ Design’s exceptional work. They have provided us with an impressive visual identity that fills us with pride. We highly recommend KAZ Design to anyone looking for a branding partner who not only listens and understands but also transforms visions into captivating visuals. Thank you, KAZ Design, for helping us tell our school’s story in an inspiring and enduring way.”

I have worked with Karen and the Kaz team for over 12 years in a variety of roles, but mostly relating to my work in Local Government.
During this time, we have worked on many documents, from those required to meet legislative compliance to others with a stronger community engagement focus. We have also worked on several branding projects together.
Karen and her team are consummate professionals. Nothing is ever too much trouble, and they always capture the essence of the project and the outcomes we aspire to deliver. The team always finds the best way to convey complex, technical information in the simplest way and the finished product is always of the highest quality, delivered on time and within budget. I have no hesitation in recommending Karen and her team for any project, particularly if you are seeking something that sets you apart from the rest.

I entrust Kaz Design. Brand. Web. to do all my promotional material including my email signature, business card, and prospectuses. Kaz also designed a lot of the material within the international website www.internationalstudents.school.nz
Kaz is always prompt with all my requests and happy to make minor changes even after I’ve changed my mind 100 times. They just make it happen.
Kaz also produced the attached infographic and animation videos for me to promote the school. I have challenged them at times and they always deliver.
All of these promotional materials have had a real impact when overseas marketing, helping us to stand out amongst our competitors. Feedback has been positive with lots of wows !!!
I highly recommend Kaz to you!
