About Kind Design

Kind Design was created with passion and purpose to help people achieve their goals through thoughtful, bespoke design. With a focus on authenticity, creativity, and collaboration, I blend strategic thinking with strong visual design to build brands that connect and stand out. Kind Design is about designing with intention and making a lasting impact.

About Me

Kia ora, I’m Kirstin, the creator of Kind Design. Born and raised in the Waikato, I now live in Ngāruawāhia with my partner, Bevan, and my little dog/sidekick, Raven.

With over seven years of design experience, I’ve had the privilege of working closely with a range of businesses across industries like health and wellness, beauty, IT, retail, the creative sector and more. My focus is on crafting design solutions that not only look great but also successfully communicate the essence of your brand.
