Sherydan Howard Graduation

Kia Ora!

Ko Te Ramaroa te maunga

Ko Whirinaki te awa

Ko Ngātokimatawhaorua te waka

Ko Te Rarawa tō iwi

Ko Pā Te Aroha te marae

Ko Sherydan Howard tōku ingoa.

My name is Sherydan, I am a hands-on designer that loves to develop ideas in a 3 dimensional space. I enjoy creating through feeling and getting people to interact with design in a public environment, bringing a structural and haptic perspective to designing. I love staring at well built buildings and picking apart the things that make it special (kind of like a cloud watcher.) I come from a Maori background and am learning my culture step by step, and including it into my design process as I go.

Puta ki te whāiao ki te Ao Mārama

Whāia ki te iti Kahurangi

Ki te tūohu koe,
me maunga teitei

He mea hanga tōku whare

Ko mātauranga te papārahi

Ko whakapapa ōku pou

Tōku whānau e tū atu nei taku mauri

Emerge into the bright world

Pursue the treasures you value most

If you bow your head,
let it be to a lofty mountain

My house is built

Knowledge is my foundation

My genealogy is my strength

My family give me my essence
