From our humble beginnings in a windowless office, we have grown into a full-service design studio driven by like-minded, passionate creatives who genuinely love what we do.

We also now have three windows.

What’s said about us

Ant, Immersion:

We recently engaged White Light Studio to develop our website.

After an initial consultation, we decided to develop our branding further as well.

As we operate in the creative sector we thought we “knew what we wanted” but were open to input. Our discovery session was a lot of fun and ended up proving to be the most useful experience we have had as a business.

It allowed us to articulate exactly what our business was, how we want it to operate and make educated decisions for our future. This was so much more than just figuring out what our logo said to prospective clients.

Following our discovery session, the development of our brand identity was wonderful with great conversations and advice from the W.L team.

We couldn’t be happier with our deliverables, we can’t wait to work with the team in the future.”

Andee, Hojo:

We approached White Light Studio to discuss our new business plan and brand ideas. We thought that we had a reasonable grasp on who we are and what we wanted. However, after an in-depth discovery session, the team took us on a design journey that really developed our brand story and logo into something way more than we realised that we could achieve. You have to trust the design process! This team of skilled creatives will get your story out of you and enhance the essence of your brand, and in doing so, will create further value in what you have to offer in your product or service! …and the $ are definitely your investment in your brand!

Carrie, The Village Gift:

I have been fortunate enough to work with the very talented team at White Light Studio on a bit of a rebrand for my business, as well as bringing to life some other bits and pieces to help me elevate my brand. I cannot express how grateful I am for the work Jen and the team have put in and I have been absolutely blown away with the final results. The time taken to truly understand what my business is about has been incredible, I thoroughly enjoyed each one of our meetings and I instantly fell in love with everything they produced. I cannot wait to show the world, it has given me a whole new level of pride and excitement for the direction we are heading in! Thank you guys xx

Kate, Chiro Connect:

The superstar team at White Light Studio were amazing from the very beginning of my re-brand project. The discovery process was worth its weight in gold and the style guidelines document they put together outlining my new identity has been really useful in helping me make application decisions to keep the brand looking strong and consistent. Throughout the process, they listened, took suggestions on board and clearly explained why things would or wouldn’t work, always keeping my business’s best interests at heart. In the end (and still continuing with other work), the result is better than I could ever have imagined for myself. I would highly, highly recommend their services every time.

James, Charged Auto Electrical:

“I’m so impressed with the team at White Light. They pushed me out of my comfort-zone and I couldn’t be happier with the result. I’ve had so much positive feedback on my branding around town and believe it’s played an integral role in the overwhelming success of my first two years in business. I wouldn’t hesitate in recommending their services for any project you might have in the pipeline, it’s definitely worth the investment.”

A floater – floating between environments, print and digital. Fran enjoys getting down and nerdy with websites while also keeping it cool, calm and collected in the world of print. She’s not one for rituals but always says yes to brushing her teeth day and night.

Jen

Graphic designer

Jen ‘it’s gotta be perfect’ Clarke, dedicates most of her time to the unattainable pursuit of perfection. Originally hailing from Manchester, she has resided in NZ for the last 7 years and finally feels like she’s breaking through the language barrier. Ironically always setting the bar high, she stands at a mere 5ft tall, has an eagle-eye for detail and is obsessed with all things print. What she lacks in vertical metres she makes up for in creative thinking and endless enthusiasm.
