Kia ora, talofa, gidday mate,
I am Kophie Su’a-Hulsbosch based in Ōtautahi Christchurch but originally from Wānaka. I am Dutch on my mothers side and Samoan on my dads side :)
I am a street artist, graphic designer, illustrator & curator and have been running my freelance business since 2018. I studied Visual Communication at Ara Institute of Canterbury and I have a First Class Honours in Bachelor of Media Arts. As well as a couple of years of business school at Te Wānanga o Aotearoa.
Aside from my freelance business I am co-owner of The Conscious Club (a sustainable events business) and I have a small sustainable streetwear brand Future Apparel.
I love nature, Muay Thai, Hip-Hop, animals and working on meaningful projects.
