THE BLACKSHEEP TEAM IS CREATIVE BY DESIGN AND PASSIONATE ABOUT MAKING YOU LOOK GOOD. OF COURSE IT HELPS THAT WE’RE A BUNCH OF LOOKERS OURSELVES…

Blacksheepdesign is a full service design agency based in good old Palmy North. We're a small team, punching well above our weight when it comes to creative communication and design.

We heart our clients. We get genuinely excited about their business goals and listen carefully to what they need. In other words, we make it our business to ensure your business attracts business.

Fun is our middle name, and although we only really get called Blacksheepfundesign by mum when we're being naughty, it's an element that's ingrained in our office culture.

We believe fun is especially important in generating ideas and being creative, but we also understand that meeting deadlines and expectations is serious business. You could say we operate a bit like an ‘80s hairstyle in that respect; business up front, party in the back...

So, whether you're after a new brand, a website, marcomms expertise, copywriting, print collateral or all that and a killer coffee, Blacksheepdesign is the team to see. Nothing's impossible when it comes to promoting your business and if we don't have the skills in-house, we've got the sub-contractor on our books.

RYLEY MCGOUGAN
ACCOUNT MANAGER

The dancing mantle has been passed on to our new Account Manager. A master of events, organising and the running man, Ryley’s energy and competitive streak will see her climb our table tennis leaderboard in no time. Fortunately, she can’t sing. So the singstar trophy is safe.

MARK INMAN
COMMUNICATIONS & MARKETING MANAGER

Beating skins with finest American Hickory gets this man going. But Mark describes himself as the most uncoordinated drummer in history. Fortunately his approach to marketing and comms is very much coordinated and he loves nothing more than drumming up new ideas for our clients.

RETA HANSON
DESIGNER

Known for her height and cherished for her critical eye, Reta sings while she works and likes to skip down the hallway. Don't let her riding hood demeanor fool you, she's a wolf when it comes to design. Aaawoooo.

MIGUEL GARRIDO
WEB DEVELOPER

Chilean import, Miguel, picked NZ as his first travel destination. Lucky for us he's taken a shine to the place, making Palmy his kiwi home. As a speaker of Spanish, English and code, his tri-lingual colloquialisms and geek speak are apreciado-ed by clients and flock alike.

A new lamb to the flock, our 2013 intern has some big ideas to go with her big personality. With her love of shopping only beaten by her love of talking, Amy is in the right field. She is rearing to go, hooves and all!
