ABOUT AWANUI REEDER
Tēnā koutou e ngā rangatira.As the Pae Ārahi of Hemisphere + Big River Creative, I get to do what I love, leading an award-winning design studio and full-service agency accredited on the All of Government panel for Media and Consultancy, right here in Te Whanganui-a-Tara.I\'m also a co founder of Koha, a fintech platform that support whānau, schools, marae and social groups to give, receive and manage koha | donations. I led the UX design for Koha with the aim of making it simple, easy and memorable. Koha is proudly the official fundraising platform for the movement Toitū Te Tiriti. We like to say we\'re \'taking the hōhā out of koha\'.I thrive on solving big problems, the kind that demand fearless vision, beautiful design and cultural intelligence. The bigger the problem, the better. I reimagine models that no longer serve our communities through strategic thinking, entrepreneurship and storytelling that spans music, fashion, technology, and marketing.At the heart of everything I do is aroha. Giving the best of what I have, what I know, and who I know to uplift all communities in Aotearoa, more importantly through a te ao Māori lens because we know what happens when we don\'t that. My vision - A thriving and prosperous Aotearoa. My mission - high quality, at speed, with aroha. We have one life, so I\'m going hard before I return to our tūpuna (ancestors).Academically, I hold a Master of Business from Auckland University of Technology and a Master of UX Design from Victoria University of Wellington. So yeah.I’m basically the coolest geek you know.
