Our Story
Big Ideas from a Small Family Business
Kia ora! I’m Petra – a graphic designer and marketing specialist based in Auckland. Together with my husband David, a full-stack web developer, we help Kiwi businesses grow online with beautiful branding, effective marketing, and easy-to-use websites.
I focus on design and strategy, while David takes care of the technical side. Working as a team allows us to create high-quality results with great communication and flexibility – without the price tag of a big agency. Because it’s just the two of us, there’s no middleman and you’ll always be dealing directly with the people doing the work.
We live in Auckland with our three-year-old son, and we spend as much time together as possible – always keeping an eye on each other’s needs and feelings. That same care and attention shape how we work with our clients, too. We take time to understand what makes your business special so the end result feels genuine, personal, and effective. Our goal is to understand what makes your business special, so the result reflects your story and connects with your audience.
"We believe great results come from working in the right creative state — where strategy meets imagination, and design meets purpose.”
At Creative State, we believe great work starts with the right mindset — a creative state where ideas flow freely, strategy feels natural, and every detail serves a purpose.”
We help Kiwi businesses grow online with beautiful branding, effective marketing, and easy-to-use websites, so they get more enquiries and sell more online.
Working with us means you get a creative team that covers both sides – design and tech – without the layers and costs of a big agency. Because it’s just the two of us, you’ll always deal directly with the people doing the work. That means faster decisions, smoother communication, and a personal touch you won’t find elsewhere.
