The person
behind Āio Studio
Kia ora, I’m Maria.
I’m a strategist, communicator and creative. I work with people and organisations to take an idea from its first shape through to something they can share with the world.
My work moves across communications, design, writing and sound. I bring the pieces together around what matters to you, so the finished work feels clear, useful and unmistakably yours.
Where clarity
becomes expression
Connect, build, create and be heard.
