Summary
Kia ora, my name is Eruera Tu.
I am a self-taught freelance graphic designer & creative with 3 years of field experience based in Wellington, New Zealand. I specialise in logo design, branding and visual identity, with a huge passion for sports design. Demonstrated success in project management, team leadership and schedule coordination. Fluent in multiple designing programs.
My sports design journey started back in 2020 when I began creating sports posters of my favourite athletes. i started an instagram page @etdzn_ as a place to share my art and showcase my improvements in the space. as i went on, my page started to gain more support and from there which lead to me working with some dream clients.
I am very grateful for those i have had the pleasure of connecting with over the years and i am always looking to collaborate with new partners. i am excited to continue to share my art with the world and hopefully inspire others along the way.
