CREATE WITHOUT LIMITATION
Māui Studios was founded in Otepoti by three friends inspired to use their change-maker attitude to support and uplift their local communities.
In pursuit of unearthing their connection to whakapapa and exploring the legendary journeys of Māui, their vision-led mindset has opened the door to creative collaborations with innovators and major brands across the globe.
Ten years on, the studio based in Ōtautahi, Canterbury has grown into passionate team of creative talent, fully prepared to tackle the most demanding of projects.

Te Pūtahitanga and I have spent the last 5 years creating opportunities for the growth of Whānau Ora organisations throughout Te Waipounamu. Maui Studios have been there alongside us the entire time, creating value for Whānau Ora, business’, organisations and not-for profits. They've created websites, films, illustrations and graphic design collateral to help push these organisations and their aspirations to new heights and they have played a key role in the development of our digital communication strategy. This includes our website, blog, over 40 videos, our instagram and Facebook.

In my role as CEO of Arataki Systems and Founder of Ko Māui Hangarau (Māori in Tech Events) I’ve worked closely with Vincent over the past three years, collaborating on a number of awesome kaupapa that are beneficial to Rangatahi and Aotearoa as a whole. Vincent showed excellent project Management skills and consistently exceeded project expectations. On a personal level, he’s charismatic and well-spoken, both qualities that have served him well in his role as a Director of his own company - Māui Studios Aotearoa Ltd

We commissioned Māui Studios to help us create branding for a community project. Māui Studios are an incredibly talented crew of digital creatives who really understood and listened to what we wanted, executed the brief with perfection and delivered clever branding and design that totally exceeded our needs. They have a critical understanding of cultural elements and a connection with te ao Māori that is evident in their designs. We can’t wait to use them on another project and recommend the whānau of Māui Studios to everyone looking for a professional and modern result.

I've been working with Maui Studios on a couple of projects in 2017. A talented and dedicated team of highly skilled practitioners of their respective art forms. I would definitely recommend engaging with these guys and the work they do if you want to go to the next level
