Let's work together
"Since my first interaction working with Emma I knew we had found an outstanding resource. Her portfolio of work showed a breadth and comprehension of the sometimes difficult, and wordy based world of Local Government communication. Working with her on a number of projects, of varying sizes, budgets, and complexity has been a breeze. Her quick turnaround, and her ability to just ‘get’ what our message is, and how to best portray it visually and effectively has meant I’m often able to send off a brief description knowing that whatever is returned will be about 90% of the way there. Her rapid response to changes and revisions as work progresses through the levels of sign-off required is fantastic.
Local government communication can be text heavy, statutory and uninspiring to read and to get people to understand, but Emma’s quick grasp and understanding of the projects makes the design element reflect the importance of the work and the message."
Ben Hope - External Public Affairs Officer
"Emma is an extremely skilled, innovative professional with an indefatigable work ethic. Every aspect of her engagement was fulfilled with acute intelligence, efficiency, speed and skill. She goes above and beyond on everything. I cannot recommend her highly enough. She is also an absolute joy to work with: Unfailingly calm, kind and thoughtful with an unassuming style. Emma is able to think fast and laterally to accommodate it all. She brings great maturity and judgement to her work, and is always discrete and professional. Her communication skills are superb. She writes very well, with an excellent professional tone, producing superb technical writing but also knowing when to be more personal and supportive. Emma is a true star. It was a privilege to work with her and I count myself extremely lucky that she was prepared to remain with me for the entirety of my time in public office."
Dr Emily Henderson - Member of Parliament 2020-2023
"The ease and efficiency with which Emma can create various forms of engaging exhibition material, and her skill at taking often complex exhibition design concepts and converting them into practical graphic solutions makes her an integral part of our exhibitions team.
Working with Emma is a creative and streamlined experience. The quality of design work, and her ability to adapt to the ever evolving nature of exhibition development and execution has ensured a successful and highly valued working relationship we can depend on."
Carrie de Hennezel - Curator, Exhibitions and Program Manager
"Emma is a highly efficient and capable creative communicator, with great skills, especially in design, print management, and campaign delivery.
I recommend Emma as an asset to any project she undertakes, and as an organised, trustworthy professional.
Emma is also friendly, easy going, calm and pleasant. Her strengths in both time management and creativity produce high quality results in excellent timeframes."
Melissa Peters - Senior Change & Communications Manager
"Healthy Homes Tai Tokerau have been working with Hue Creative for more than 2 years now. In that time we have formed a great working relationship with Emma.
Emma has been very effective in meeting deadlines for Healthy Homes which is vital when working to external commitments with print media, radio etc.
Emma has developed a strong understanding of our business model and understanding what we deliver for our communities. This has really helped in developing the look and feel of our media campaigns.
Being a “not for profit” community enterprise we are slightly outside the box in terms of a normal business partner and Emma has made the working relationship easy even though we work remotely from each other."
