All-round design enthusiasts.

Paul is big on ideas and has a passion for formulating a brief that is very much tailored to the clients lifestyle and desires – paired with an emotive and environmental response to the site. Paul worked as a “creative” for 22 years for some of New Zealand’s top advertising agencies creating campaigns for many iconic Kiwi brands. He has since helped locals and friends with their home-build projects whilst running The Clever Design Store (formerly ‘Cleverbastards’).
Jess and Paul have formed an effective father-daughter team together and both share a passion for creating meaningful and thoughtful design – exceeding clients’ needs.
