Purpose-driven creative partnership
Kia Ora, I’m Ashley. I partner with socially conscious businesses across New Zealand and Australia to create brand strategy magic and purposeful design that sharpens your message, connects with the right audience, and drives meaningful impact.
Working with you.
I work with startups, not-for-profits, and social initiatives across Australia and New Zealand who are using business as a force for good. My approach is built on genuine partnership, shared values, and long-term collaboration.
With experience in brand strategy, brand identity development, pitch strategy and impact reporting across social impact organisations, I offer strategic creative guidance grounded in your goals — not just your brief.
My role is to become a trusted part of your team, providing a consistent creative eye and long-term commitment to your mission.
"Ash cared for, loved and grew our brand more than anyone I’ve had the privilege of working with. I couldn’t recommend her more highly."
Chris Raine
CEO + Founder at Hello Sunday Morning
"Ashley was always willing to discuss ideas or recommend alternatives when something wouldn’t work. I quickly learnt to trust her judgement and wouldn’t hesitate to work with her again."
Kim Walsh
Events Manager at Variety NZ
"I want to thank you from the bottom of my heart for your contributions to Clean Slate. You've played such a key role in developing our brand and we couldn't have got to where we are without you."
