Born out of the desire to combine a love of design, craft and visual experimentation, Peg Creative is a multifaceted design studio located on Auckland's North Shore. Since launching in 2014, we have been fortunate enough to work on a wide variety of projects, from customised decor and event signage through to national brand promotional products and awards.
Having in-house machinery, designers and production schedules allows us to produce high-quality results from conception to completion using locally grown talent. Every day is a chance to build on our creativity, learn a new craft and aim for perfection.
Pleasure in the job puts perfection in the work.
- Aristotle
