William Minty

Designer

(Te Roroa)

Will specialises in website and native app design, and has a strong focus on collaboration and co-design. Over the years, he’s worked across design, research, and facilitation roles, partnering with businesses, organisations, and communities to create solutions that genuinely meet people’s needs. He’s focused on helping teams to deliver exceptional digital products and services that support communities and organisations to create positive social change—bringing creativity, empathy, and purpose to every project.

He’s especially passionate about all things te ao Māori and is committed to creating safe, welcoming, and empowering spaces for Māori designers to explore their Māoritanga and realise their creative potential. For Will, design is about more than just outcomes—it’s about impact, inclusion, and working together to shape a better future for our tamariki and our mokopuna.
