Meet the Designer & Artist

Hi, I'm Kirsty

I’m Kirsty – designer, illustrator, and digital artist behind Creatifly, a creative studio based in beautiful Tūrangi.

With over 15 years of experience in branding, advertising and digital design, I’ve had the chance to work with some of the biggest names around. That experience taught me how to take big ideas and apply them in a way that works – whether you’re a start-up, a local legend, or somewhere in between.

While I’m currently on maternity leave and not taking on new client work, I’m still deep in the creative world — making digital art, exhibiting in Taupō Art Expos, and launching my print collection into local stores.

For me, good design has always been about more than just looking sharp – it’s about telling stories, solving problems, and creating connection. That hasn’t changed — just the format.

Thanks for following along as Creatifly evolves. This new season is slower, but just as full of heart.

Designed to make you look good.

At Creatifly, design is all about clarity, creativity, and connection. No fluff, no jargon — just thoughtful design that feels like you and speaks to the people you’re trying to reach.

From branding and illustration to art prints and websites, everything I create is designed to feel good, work hard, and stand out (in a good way). And when it comes to websites? Clean, easy to use, and backed by friendly, local support — right here in Aotearoa.

So whether it’s for your business or your walls, Creatifly is here to help you look good and feel confident about what you’re putting out into the world.
