I had the opportunity to design a logo for a competition for a young Māori leaders conference. This competition was exclusively for members of my Iwi, so I thought it was a great chance to explore Māori design and my whakapapa.

I wanted it to represent the young leaders themselves coming into their own power and rising above their potential. I used mangopare to show them as strong leaders, rising over the sun and stars represented by the half circle and small dots. I framed my design within a triangle, as they are the strongest shape and are also representative of our Maunga standing tall.
