At the The Hood & Co we create visual content for brands and organisations in Aotearoa. We create beautiful work that evokes strong, emotional and human feelings. ​The majority of our work has an element of Te Ao Māori bringing a passionate and unique viewpoint to every job. James, my partner in business (and life!), being of Māori and Cook Island heritage provides a natural progression into this space.​Connection with culture and respect for the people we work with is important. Our efficient, savvy, and honest approach makes sure every client feels heard and supported during our collaboration.
