Designing good software really isn't as complicated as people pretend it is—just understand the need you are addressing, communicate clearly and remember that "users" are human beings. Where I help is in clarifying your vision, being an advocate for the user, and utilizing the necessary tools to make your product idea a reality. I am looking to work with clients who are thoughtful, efficient and understand the business value of high-quality contract work. Other things to note: • I primarily work in Figma, and am partial to Apple's product ecosystem, but am totally open to web projects and other devices. If it's got a screen, I'll make an interface that fits it. • I'm based in New Zealand, which is undeniably one of the worst time-zones to manage. That just means I've become an expert at asynchronous work, and don't mind late nights. • If you see me referred to as Hutch, it's a nickname, not some other bloke. I am a solo designer, and I complete all my work personally. Voice & Tone is a customer support consultancy I run separate to my software design trade. Alright that's it, I don't like talking about myself. Check out the client reviews in my Work History to get it straight from the source. Cheers

Currently based in Argentina I've spent 20 years designing data platforms that work — not just on day one, but when source schemas change, volumes spike, pipelines fail, and the engineer who built them has moved on. My background spans greenfield warehouse architecture, ETL and pipeline engineering, API integration, and Power BI reporting — delivered across government, enterprise, and startup environments in the US, UK, Japan, and New Zealand. I work from strategy through to execution: I can define what you need to build and then build it. Whether you need a single pipeline untangled or an entire data platform built from the ground up, I design and deliver solutions that are fit for purpose, scaled to where your now and your future. No unnecessary complexity no overengineered infrastructure you can't maintain. And if you're not using AI to write your code right now, you're wasting someone's time and money. The value isn't in the syntax — it's in the architecture, the standards, and the experience to know what breaks and why. If you want a data platform that's built to last, not just built to demo — let's talk.

Hello, I'm Kris 👋🏼 I design thoughtful, cohesive marketing materials for businesses that need their brand to look polished and consistent. I bring more than 10 years of experience across product, marketing, customer experience, and business ownership. I approach design with both the visual outcome and the business purpose in mind. I think about what the piece needs to communicate, who it is for, and how to make the information clear without making the design feel cluttered. I work well with clients who need someone practical, creative, and detail-focused. You can come to me with a rough idea, messy content, an old document that needs a proper redesign, or a brand that needs to feel more consistent across its materials. I can help turn it into something clear, polished, and ready to use. I can help with: 🌱 Brochure design 🌱 Capability statements 🌱 Pitch decks 🌱 Sales presentations 🌱 Canva templates 🌱 Social media graphics 🌱 E-books and guides 🌱 Lead magnets 🌱 Infographics 🌱 Flyers and posters 🌱 Annual reports 🌱 Branded business documents 🌱 Ad creative 🌱 Mockups 🌱 Copy layout and copywriting I work across Affinity, Canva, Figma, and InDesign, I can create polished design files or editable templates depending on what you need. A quick note on file types: I do not usually design professional layout work in Microsoft Word or PowerPoint. They are not always reliable for polished brand materials. For editable designs, I recommend Canva, Figma, or InDesign so the final result stays consistent and easy to manage. If you need thoughtful, well-structured design that feels true to your brand, I’d be happy to help.
