Kia ora! Welcome to inkwitch.nz, where ancient craft meets modern tech. I’m Rachel (@rahera_k), an independent graphic designer and digital artist from Heretaunga, Hawke’s Bay. I use mixed media art and editing software to create bespoke digital curiosities that are uniquely yours. If you’re looking for:
- a book cover
- wedding or party invitations
- that tattoo you’ve been dreaming of
- a logo for your brand or small business
- a portrait of your animal companion
- an illustration of your D&D character
- a label for your craft beer, wine bottle or magic elixir
- a truly personal gift for someone special
- something else!
I’ve got you covered. I’m solo and self-taught with no fancy art school qualifications, studio space or flash equipment, but if you like my style, I would love to work with you. We can collaborate locally here in the Bay, from wherever you are in the motu, or even overseas. Whatever your creative project, with a bit of digital magic I can help conjure your visions to life. Check out some of my illustration and design work to see if we vibe.

A bit more about me: I’m a Hawke’s Bay girl and have lived right here in Hastings (East Side!) most of my life. Part-hippie, part-goth, I’ve been drawing on paper since I could hold a pencil and digitally with a graphics tablet for over ten years. I love all things weird, paranormal and spooky. Outside of art, my greatest passion is for animals and animal rights; I believe fiercely in our duty to protect our fellow earthlings and I’m proudly 100% vegan! You may occasionally find me out in the wild supporting our local HB live music and theatre scene. When not conjuring digital creations, I enjoy reading, gardening and plant-based cooking. 🌱
