NATE RAFFAN
Kia Ora,
As a designer, I strive to encourage creativity, making art more accessible and engaging. I enjoy collaborating with like-minded people to combine our skills and create work that makes a meaningful difference in our communities
Garage Project is a craft brewery based in Aro Valley, Wellington. Their Fresh series is a constantly evolving monthly release that is distributed across New Zealand and Australia. I was commissioned to create the artwork for the October 2025 release, and later designed exclusive T-shirts for their Fresh Members Club.
STAY CREATIVE
Over the last two years I have Co-run Stay Creative
Stay Creative is all about bringing communities together to celebrate local artists and help out a good cause.
We partnered with Garage Project, Coffee Supreme and Boring oat milk to offer koha coffee at our events to raise money for the people over at Everybody Eats.
Everybody Eats is a charity that turns rescued food into three-course meals.
Anyone can come have kai and pay what they can, even nothing.
It helps reduce food waste, supports people who need a meal, and brings the community together.
