I am Talia Hodge, a 43-year-old Māori artist from Rotorua, New Zealand, now based in Kippa-Ring, Australia. I have a scholarship for vernacular design, focusing on culture, process, autonomy, and heritage. I developed a unique timber-carving method using fire, setting it apart from traditional techniques, and my work is used for educational purposes. Over the past five years I have dedicated myself to art and design, exploring photography, web design, motion graphics, digital graphics, mould making, and fire carving. I have freelanced in digital design, creating logos, websites, and social media content—often without outsourcing. After relocating to Australia, I worked in customer service to deepen my understanding of sales and client relations, and I aim to return to design and advertising, delivering effective and efficient products and services. I’m seeking a sustainable, mostly remote role.…I am Talia Hodge, a 43-year-old Māori artist from Rotorua, New Zealand, now based in Kippa-Ring, Australia.
