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 deliver 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 deal directly with the people doing the work. That means faster decisions, smoother collaboration, and a truly personal experience.
We live in Auckland with our three-year-old son and spend as much time together as possible, always staying mindful of each other’s needs and feelings. That same care and attention shapes how we work with our clients. We take the time to understand what makes your business special, so the end result feels genuine, personal, and effective — reflecting your story and connecting with your audience.
At Creative State, we believe great work starts with the right mindset — a creative state where strategy meets imagination, and every detail serves a purpose. Our goal is simple: to help your business grow online, attract more enquiries, and sell more through thoughtful design and smart, functional websites.
