Paint with Nature

Go for a walk around your garden or local green space. Collect items that are different textures. Can you find items that are different shapes? What items do you think will make interesting patterns? Try things like stones, pine cones, seed heads, leaves, flowers, sticks, and bark.

Put blobs of paint out on a piece of card or on an ice cream container lid. Dip the items into the paint and then brush or stamp them onto the paper. What kind of patterns can you create? Try rolling the item in the paint and then rolling it on your paper. Can you paint a picture using your items? Have fun experimenting with texture, pattern, and colour.

Hi, I’m Kim and I work with a great team to help individuals, as well as small and not so small businesses get their message, product and services to the world using digital media and creating wonderful websites that don’t cost the earth.

I was born in Canada, and grew up around Vancouver and the mountains of British Columbia. My love of pristine environments led me to New Zealand and eventually to the mountains, lakes and rivers of the central North Island which is home. My family’s heritage is here, and it’s from here that Korio traverses the planet.

The digital world is never static and neither are we.

And I say ‘we’ because I work with an awesome group of talented people who I gather together as required to complete a project.  Whatever your business, not-for-profit or individual needs are we gather the best team to get the job done.

Collaboratively we are creative, share sustainable values and work hard for great outcomes because that’s the buzz of satisfaction that drives us.

If you have an audience and market to reach, we can make that happen. Creative design, words that work and smart behind the scenes stuff that cuts through the online noise. We’ll design your website and then build it. We’ll manage the content as well as all your hosting needs. We can handle your online advertising so you get noticed,
and we’ll manage your social media presence so you get the clicks, likes and engagement to grow your business. All within the budget you set, because none of this needs to cost the earth.  And the job doesn’t stop when your website goes live. We are your virtual business partner.
