Ko Mataatua te waka.
Ko Puhi te rangatira.
Ko Tokerau te maunga.
Ko Kerei Mangonui te moana.
Ko Ngāti Rehia te iwi.
Ko Tareha te tangata.
Ko Te Tii Mangonui te papa kāinga.
Ko Parangi te whānau.
Ko Darcelle tōku ingoa.
Kia ora, I’m Darcelle, the creative spark behind Te Pu-a Nga Maara’s design and eCommerce mahi. Guided by the whakataukī, “Kia tika te ara, kia pono te ngākau” let the path be just, and the heart be true, I pour my passion into weaving innovation and authenticity into everything I do.
I know how to transform ideas and visions into bold, innovative creations. Whether it’s designing visuals that sing or crafting eCommerce solutions that connect, I turn concepts into vibrant realities that resonate with our people and purpose.
I dream of a thriving taiao where our tamariki flourish, deeply connected to the whenua and wai, and empowered as kaitiaki. I aspire for them to master the art of caring for and preserving our environment, ensuring its vibrancy for future generations.
Nothing lights me up more than watching our rangatahi innovators grow in understanding and love for the taiao. Seeing their connection deepen, sparking new ideas and solutions, is pure magic. As we say, Taiao Ora: Mauri Ora, Nature is Life.
