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
