About Us

Tae Eke Aotearoa has been supporting preschools and schools with resources for ten years. We offer quality, authentic and informative resources primarily focusing on ourselves here in Aotearoa, with a special emphasis on customisation and personalisation.

With our dad Charles’ background as a master carver, specialising in mahi whakairo and whakapapa, Tae Eke Aotearoa was born out of an initial request from preschools to support them with resources that focus on Te Ao Maori, but not limited to.

We are a whanau business based in Manawatu living rurally just outside of Palmerston North in a small settlement called Rangiotu. The whenua we live on is our turangawaewae where our Rangitane tupuna lived and acknowledge this and is what keeps us grounded.

Although Tae Eke was started ten years ago, with our qualifications and experience in graphic design, photography, animation and mahi whakairo, we the next generation have taken the reins to take the business to the next level utilising our knowledge and background in social media, digital and graphic design, animation, photography, drone footage, laser cutting, outreach and presentations, attending hui and wananga, networking and collaborating with local and wider Iwi, community groups, City Council and other.

We continue to support preschools and schools with resources and also support with all the above mentioned and always open to korero about any new projects.
