TE WHARE
I WHIRI AI TE WHARIKI
Āio is the whare. The house of return. Each strand forms part of its structure. This isn’t just a model. It’s a lived experience. A house woven from intention, remembrance, and expression.
Healing pathways & resources
Communications Architecture
Multi-layered design & creatives
Āio Studio is the living expression of everything I carry.
It is a body of work woven from years of lived experience, integration and intentional service. Every part of Āio has been shaped to hold space for growth, and not just in what is created, but in who we become through the process.
Āio holds three whenu:
Mahara - The thread of remembrance
This is the House of Spirituality, where healing tools, guidance and services are offered through the journey of remembrance. This is the foundation of your personal growth.
Tūhono -The thread of structure
This is the invisible network and infrastructure behind the body of your communications. It is the structure that brings coherence and clarity and builds pathways to execution.
Whakarei - The thread of expression.
This is the house of design where concept finds its visual identity. It is storytelling, crafted with intention. It is the refining of form, where design becomes expression.
These arms are not separate offerings. They are threads of the same woven foundation.
They exist to support the unfolding of something meaningful, and at the heart of Āio is the of laying foundations: for kaupapa to stand, for creative work to move, for healing to deepen.
Āio Studio is the whāriki beneath it all.
Te Whare o Āio - The Living House
The place where inner work begins. Mahara is the foundation — grounded in wairua, memory, and transformation. This is where healing happens, direction is remembered, and the return to self begins.
The creative expression shaped with care, achieved through visual, written, and conceptual refinement.
Whakarei enhances what already exists, and brings your concept & vision to form & life.
The inward journey. Healing pathways, life guidance tools & resources.
Te Tūāpapa
The foundation of your whare
Communications Architecture, the space in between.
Te Pou Tāhuhu
The central support beam
Tūhono is the network that connects it all. It holds the systems, strategy, and structure that carry kaupapa from seed to reach. The invisible threads, for clear, intentional, strong connection, and long-term coherence.
Multi-layered & intentional design. This is the expression of your vision.
