As an educator passionate about literacy development and promotion, I had long dreamt of developing resources that affirm learners and would support the learning and speaking of Te Reo in New Zealand homes, schools and workplaces.
In 2005 I completed a Toi Māori Kōwhaiwhai course which inspired me to create original, quality products using these kōwhaiwhai patterns. I have continued to build our range of products, sell on-line and develop the business based on our founding vision which was to promote Te Reo Māori, Toi Māori Kōwhaiwhai and celebrate Aotearoa. |
