Abhi Chinniah is a portrait photographer and writer. Drawing from her lived experiences, Abhi uses portraiture to elevate marginalised voices, women of colour, ethnic communities, explore colourism and everything in between. Her debut photographic series Light Skin Dark Skin used portraits of kiwi women to explore the journeys people have to take because of the colour of their skin. Abhi’s most recent photo series A Migrant’s Path, which sought the connection between home, roots and belonging, was acquired by The National Library of New Zealand. Her ongoing work celebrates the diverse cultures existing in Aotearoa.

Born in Ōtautahi Christchurch to Sri Lankan Malaysian parents, Abhi grew up in East Coast Malaysia and now lives in Tāmaki Makaurau, Aotearoa New Zealand.

Typography & Video Design

Having spent most of her life in Aoteaora New Zealand, Ashleigh Sun is a Kiwi Asian who has only recently stepped into the design industry as a graduate. She has a predominantly minimalist style where she routinely employs negative space to pull focus and allow for main design elements to shine.

Ashleigh’s current body of work contains a blend of graphic and type design that have since found notable successes. Her first typeface Dot Dot Dot was recognised at the Best Design Awards 2021, and her second typeface Brücke Display is now being used by the official archive and estate of Ernst Ludwig Kirchner in Switzerland.
