About Us

Kia ora and welcome to CRE-eight 👋

We are a proud Māori-owned, whānau-run business based in Southland, Aotearoa.

CRE-eight was founded by Kirstan Towers, Director of CRE-eight, of Ngāti Kahungunu descent— alongside her hasband Jovan Towers — a Māori artist of Ngāti Porou and Ngāti Hikairo descent .

Our whakapapa, identity, and culture sit at the heart of everything we create.

CRE-eight was born from a passion for culture, creativity, and quality. We fuse Māori inspiration, AI art, and modern design into high-quality products you won’t find anywhere else.

Every piece we produce — from UV-printed LED mirror art to custom streetwear and personalised taonga — is created with intention. Our work honours identity, strength, and story while blending cultural inspiration with modern technology.

Our mission is simple:
To create powerful artwork and products that make people proud of who they are — and where they come from.

As a Māori artist, Jovan is committed to creating work that respects tikanga and celebrates whakapapa. As Director, Kirstan ensures every product meets our high standards of quality, professionalism, and community responsibility.

Ngā mihi nui for supporting local.
Ngā mihi for supporting Māori-owned.
And thank you for backing something different.

Let’s create something epic together.
