Family run.
Women led.
Auckland-based.

Small Work Studio is Sarah, Siobhan and Michelle: a family-run, women-led brand and web studio making work for small New Zealand businesses.

Most small businesses get two choices: a template, or an agency quote that costs more than their first year of trading. We wanted to do the third thing.

So we built it ourselves. Small Work is a family business, led by women, based in Auckland. Sarah leads the creative, Siobhan designs, and Michelle runs the project and keeps everyone honest. That’s the whole studio.

We keep overheads low on purpose, and we pass that on. Our projects stay under $10K and you know the number before we start.

How we work

No assholes.

We’re good to our clients and good to each other, and we expect the same back. Life’s too short, and the best work comes from good people.

No overcharging.

Fair prices, said up front. You’ll know what it costs before we start, and there are no surprise invoices.

No jargon.

Plain English, always. If we use a word you don’t know, that’s on us.

Small on purpose.

No office to pay for, no layers to bill. That’s where the savings come from.

Proudly Kiwi.

Based in Auckland, made for New Zealand small businesses. We know the budgets, the timelines and how much of this you actually have to do yourself.
