Ko Vincent Egan tōku ingoa.

I'm deeply committed to integrating mātauranga Māori in our projects, ensuring each venture not only resonates with our heritage but also paves the way for future generations.

As a founder and owner alongside Patrick Hussey, Madison Henry, and Luke Egan I am immensely proud of our journey and the organisations we have built. These organisations are a symbol of our collective passion and dedication to digital creation, grounded in mātauranga Māori values and cultural heritage. We have become experts in visual design, motion design, and immersive design, nurturing strong relationships with our partners to deliver impactful projects across the world. 

I'm currently pursuing a Doctorate of Professional Practice at Otago Polytechnic | Te Pūkenga, I'm an advocate for lifelong learning and the power of education to transform lives. My journey in design and visual communications has been a path of constant discovery, blending creativity with technology to tell stories that matter.

My approach to leadership and the day to day is grounded in the pursuit of temperance, fortitude, and prudence. I believe in leading with humility and a sense of purpose, ensuring our actions create lasting positive impacts.

I'm interested to discover how technology and tradition can coexist and flourish together and I invite you to join me along this path of culture, creativity, and commerce.
