TORO Studios nz would like to introduce Huia Edmonds, an exceptionally talented illustrator and valued team member here at TORO Studios, working on the Kohurau-mai-i-Tāwhiti project. Growing up on the East Coast of Te Tairāwhiti and an upbringing in Te Ao Māori heavily influences Huia's art and illustrations. Not too surprising given Huia's name, he is a gifted artist when it comes to drawing birds, in particular the Huia. Huia plays a big part in ensuring our creations have a level of authenticity when it comes to the representation of our culture, and we are grateful to have such a gifted individual contributing to our creations.

A fun and light-hearted Q&A session with the extroardinary tutor, Kawana Wallace!
Kawana certainly did not disappoint with bringing forth his infectious energy and bubbly personality. We took immense pleasure in asking Kawana some humorous questions in which he had no issues answering in great (and informative) detail! 😂
We look forward to Kanohi ki te kanohi next year where our tauira will be able to interact with our tutors and get a real feel as to the personalities behind the screens!

A quick up, close and personal with our wonderful tutor Wiremu Wallace!🎉
Since we are unable to work in our studio, we took the opportunity to do a quick fun and lighthearted Q&A Session via teams to highlight the personality of one of our tutors who have been grinding hard behind the scenes!
We certainly acquired some great content for a series of bloopers coming your way soon! 😆 A big tēnā rawa atu koe to Wiremu Wallace for taking the time to chat with us!
Also, a big thank you to Jordy for editing this for us last minute, you're awesome!
