Mixed Media Design

As a trusted Kāpiti graphic designer, Mixed Media Design delivers refined branding, digital, and print solutions to elevate businesses across New Zealand.

Collaborative design rooted in local insight

Founded on the Kāpiti Coast by experienced creative director Gail Tervet, Mixed Media Design has become a trusted partner for visual communication. Since its establishment, they have worked alongside small businesses, not-for-profits, and national organisations, offering an exceptional blend of strategic design thinking and personable service.

By combining brand understanding with practical design skills, they ensure each piece of work communicates clearly and connects authentically. Based in the heart of Kāpiti, they maintain a strong regional focus while supporting clients throughout New Zealand.

Bespoke branding for long-term growth

Their branding services reflect deep insight into identity creation. From initial concepts to full visual systems, they develop logos, taglines, typography, and brand guidelines that reflect a business’s core values and audience.

Many local entrepreneurs and established businesses on the Kāpiti Coast engage them to reimagine their brands as they evolve. Each solution begins with a research phase that informs distinctive visual outcomes.

By prioritising consistency across digital and print applications, they help clients maintain a clear, memorable identity in competitive markets. From cafés in Raumati to consultancies in Paraparaumu, they ensure each brand stands out.

Print design that leaves a lasting impression

As a full-service Kāpiti graphic designer, Mixed Media Design continues to offer high-end print design for brochures, packaging, signage, and editorial publications.

Every layout balances creativity with clarity, ensuring messaging remains front and centre. Their longstanding relationships with local printers streamline production, delivering cohesive results with high production values.

Whether it’s an exhibition display for a Coast-based arts collective or a promotional flyer for a national campaign, they manage every detail from design through to delivery. Their work often appears in local retail environments, offices, and community spaces, reflecting their commitment to meaningful communication.

Web design grounded in user experience

While print remains a core offering, their web design services ensure brands extend naturally into digital channels. By crafting responsive websites with strong UX principles, they build seamless online experiences for clients across New Zealand.

Using clear navigation and accessible content structure, they deliver sites that are as intuitive as they are visually aligned. Their work often includes copywriting, site planning, and technical collaboration with developers.

Businesses in Wellington, Kāpiti, and across the country trust them to translate brand strategies into compelling digital platforms. Their attention to detail ensures even small sites feel premium and purposeful.

Clear communication for real-world impact

As specialists in layout and visual hierarchy, Mixed Media Design often partners on communication projects where clarity and precision are essential. They design reports, strategic plans, and stakeholder materials that make complex information engaging.

This capability is especially valued by public sector clients and community organisations. By aligning key messaging with professional design, they support advocacy, education, and fundraising goals.

Recent collaborations include multi-page publications for environmental initiatives, health campaigns, and regional development strategies, proving their design extends beyond style into substance.

Community-focused with a national reach

While firmly rooted on the Kāpiti Coast, their reputation reaches far beyond. From Levin to Wellington, clients engage them for their thoughtful process, strategic insight, and personal connection.

They continue to build trusted partnerships with clients in education, arts, health, hospitality, and government. Each project benefits from their ability to listen closely and translate vision into visuals.

Their collaborative style and commitment to client success make them more than service providers—they become long-term creative allies.

Experience that builds trust

With over two decades in the industry, founder Gail Tervet brings design depth and practical experience to every engagement. Her background includes roles in publishing, marketing, and advertising, giving her a unique cross-disciplinary perspective.

This experience is evident in how they approach each project: with purpose, flexibility, and a results-driven mindset. Clients know they can rely on consistent communication and considered recommendations.

Many return year after year, referring others and expanding their design relationship as their own businesses grow.

Design that adapts across media

As visual expectations evolve, Mixed Media Design continues to explore how brand stories unfold across formats. They regularly design for social media, infographics, presentation decks, and more—ensuring all assets reflect the same attention to quality and alignment.

They also consult on brand cohesion, helping organisations maintain integrity as they scale. Their systems thinking and eye for detail ensure every piece, no matter the medium, supports the bigger picture.

From a logo on a coffee cup to a full brand suite for a regional tourism board, their design always returns to clarity, purpose, and craft.
