Vain offers more than meets the eye as a name.

Our name is a pillar for how we move and operate as a collective of indigenous creatives.

Ps - we’ve been quietly working on a vast range of projects this year! Which we can’t wait to release in the weeks to come 😎 taken in Wellington, New Zealand by @vaincreative

📣 Here’s an update to our team!

Although we are all designers by trade we take different roles within Vain which allows us to tackle a range of creative projects.

Whether it’s a government organisation or a creative community project, we pride ourselves on co-designing and collaborating with clients to provide creative solutions through a Pasifika lens ✌️

Giving our Pacific artists their flowers at the @pacificmusicawardsnz … literally! 🥹💐

This year at the Pacific Music Awards, our host @monicaahyoung_ had the honor of celebrating the incredible talent and impact of our artists by giving them their flowers, both in words and in hand. 🌸 It’s about recognizing the music, the stories, and the culture that continue to inspire our community and the world. 🌏✨

What an incredible year it’s been working alongside @centralpacificcollective championing homeownership for our Pacific people in Porirua. Since September last year, @peetoeknee has proudly partnered with CPC to design, build, and strategise their content, website, and other key collateral—helping them shine both online and in the heart of the community.

Together, we’ve celebrated milestones, built lasting connections, and strengthened CPC’s voice and presence. As we look back at these highlights, we’re filled with pride knowing we leave CPC stronger, more visible, and ready to keep making a difference for years to come. taken in Porirua, New Zealand by @vaincreative

Some of my favourite shots from my shoot last year with the uso @justdonell for his newly released track ‘Live On’ 🙌🏾

Kept things lite and simple! Had a quick scout beforehand but mainly tested things out composition wise at each location. Learnt a lot about shooting outside too, clouds and sun position humbled me on set and in editing real quick 😂 taken in Lower Hutt, New Zealand by @vaincreative
