"As the founder alongside my wife to lead a creative practice grounded in whānau and purpose. Together, we’ve built a kaupapa-led media business that reflects our shared values, creative paths, and long-term vision. I’m a creative producer, visual storyteller, and multi-disciplinary artist, with over two decades of experience across music, film, design, and kaupapa Māori content. Our storytelling is driven by wairua, identity, and impact.

My creative path started young. A camera gifted by my grandmother sparked an early passion for filmmaking — capturing skate clips and surf missions as a teen. That love for visuals grew into a clothing label I launched at 17, where I began exploring design, branding, and building something from the ground up. It was the first time I realised creativity could be a vehicle for both expression and entrepreneurship."

Since then, I’ve led bands, produced music, designed graphics, and created kaupapa-driven content for a wide range of organisations and movements. I’ve studied film, multimedia, and animation straight out of school in the 90s but most of what I’ve learned has come through doing the mahi — figuring things out as I go, adapting, and building my skillset one challenge at a time.

I’ve often had to carry projects solo — filming, editing, producing, and even learning new instruments when the moment called for it. That experience taught me how to lead with creativity, resilience, and a deep sense of responsibility to the kaupapa. It also taught me the importance of teamwork — and the need to build a future where we don’t have to do everything alone.

TreiblCreative was born from that vision. Inspired by both my whakapapa and my Austrian grandfather — whose name we carry — our kaupapa is about honouring legacy while carving new paths forward. We specialise in video production, music and motion content, and Indigenous storytelling that uplifts voices, celebrates identity, and holds space for truth.”

Every project we take on is treated like taonga — approached with care, integrity, and intention. We believe storytelling has the power to heal, to activate, and to shift perspective. And we know that the stories we tell today will shape the world our tamariki and mokopuna inherit.

I’m passionate about building platforms that uplift voices from all walks of life — weaving culture, creativity, and technology to share meaningful stories. Together with my wife, we’re growing a purpose-led business grounded in whānau values, wairua, and long-term impact. We’re not here to follow trends — we’re here to build legacy that includes everyone.

I’m still learning, still evolving, and still deeply committed to the journey.
