Studio Nine is led by Katrina Knapp, its founder and creative director. With over 15 years of experience in award-winning advertising and design agencies, she has worked with some of New Zealand’s most beloved brands, as well as internationally recognised names like McDonald’s, Volkswagen, Gerard Roofs, and Luxaflex.

We get to know our clients on a personal level and truly invest in their success. Unlike larger agencies, we have the ability to give more attention and time to each project. The owner of the business is the creator of the work and serves as the primary contact for every client.

We work with hand-picked New Zealand freelance designers and thinkers as we need to — bringing niche skills and expertise to each project as we need to. This approach allows us to provide more tailored services for our clients, resulting in better outcomes.

Passionate about collaborating with small to medium-sized businesses and start-ups, Katrina helps bring their brands to life and elevate their presence. With expertise in both print and digital design, she works alongside a talented team of illustrators, copywriters, photographers, and developers to ensure every project exceeds expectations and delivers exceptional results.
