BLAKE NZ is a school outreach programme which aims to connect thousands of young New Zealanders with freshwater and marine environments. Through virtual reality (VR) technology, NZ-VR allows students to experience the rich biodiversity that exists below the surface of the river and the ocean, and the damage that has been done to the ecosystem.

As part of this experience, students learn how human interaction affects waterways and they get to see for themselves the differences between a healthy habitat and an unhealthy one. This programme allows students to experience something they may not ever get to experience themselves in real life and provides a deep learning opportunity to discuss the ways that we humans can help reduce our impact on our wai.

You can access the videos yourself to watch on your own devices HERE!

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.
