Clear, credible websites for organisations where trust matters.

Mārama Studio designs and builds websites for Aotearoa-based organisations operating in complex, high-trust environments.

clarity · understanding · illumination

I chose the name Mārama Studio because clarity is at the heart of everything I do — and everything a good website should provide.

When an organisation’s work is important, complex, or high-stakes, clarity isn’t a “nice to have”.
It’s what builds trust, reduces risk, and helps the right people understand your value quickly.

Mārama Studio exists to help organisations show their work with confidence and mana — through websites that are calm, considered, and built to stand up to scrutiny.

About Ellie

I bring over seven years’ experience across communications, marketing, and digital — including work within some of New Zealand’s most heavily scrutinised public sector and community contexts. My background spans government agencies, healthcare and social services, professional services, and purpose-led organisations where clarity, accuracy, and credibility are non-negotiable.

That experience shapes how I work.

Every website is approached through a risk and trust lens — considering not just how it looks, but how it will be read by funders, boards, whānau, clients, media, and stakeholders. The goal is always the same: to create a clear, credible digital presence leaders can rely on, and confidently stand behind.

Your mahi deserves to be

shown with mana.

One hour. One clear website. One trusted partner to get you there.
