INTRODUCING CRAVE
A one stop shop for all things creative...
Established in 2004, we are a small but creative graphic design, illustration & photographic studio based in New Zealand,, serving a variety of clients nationwide as well as a few abroad.
Commercial design for business
Whether you want a professional logo for your new business, a revamped look for a tired brand or promotional material for your business, an upcoming event or a product.
We offer all the services and quality of a big advertising agency with the advantage of smaller bills and direct client / designer contact (to ensure you get the best possible creative outcomes for your business & brand, at the best price without the Chinese whispers).

Visitor Experience & Tourism Design
Telling a story, delivering a message or selling an experience... Our design isn't just about making something look beautiful or professional, it is first and foremost based around effectiveness.
