Meet Yvonne.

To truly understand a market, it pays to immerse yourself in it. Yvonne is the perfect example.

Returning to New Zealand after 13 rewarding and successful years in Shanghai, Yvonne has developed a profound understanding of diverse markets and cultural nuances.

Yvonne’s ability to craft visually compelling and culturally resonant designs is a powerful advantage for any brand with an APAC focus. Her bold, colourful and dynamic aesthetic always stands out in a crowd to connect with a busy audience.

Over a decade of dedicated service at Ogilvy Shanghai, Yvonne rose through the ranks to Creative and Design Director, spearheading a team of over 10 designers. Her direction and leadership created impact for both global and local brands, including esteemed names like Coke, KFC, Shisedo, and Dole. Before her success at Ogilvy, Yvonne honed her skills as a Senior Designer at Brand Union, an renowned brand agency in Shanghai.

Having initially studied at the University of Auckland, Yvonne begun her design journey at RWD in New Zealand lending her skills to local clients such as Fonterra, NZTA, Department of Labour, and ANZ.
