KiA ORA,
i’M nIC
Founder of Bowden Studio — a storyteller at heart, creative by trade, and strategist by nature.
Based in Wānaka and working across Central Otago and beyond, I create content that connects. Whether it’s capturing the feeling of a wedding day or building a brand world through visuals, my work is grounded in collaboration, care, and clarity.
Bowden is my maiden name. It holds heritage, creativity, and a sense of home — and it's the foundation of everything I bring to the table.
What I Do
I blend creative direction, tailored storytelling, and thoughtful strategy to craft content that feels true to you. Every project is different, so I adapt to what’s needed — from one-off shoots to long-term brand partnerships, behind-the-scenes wedding content to full visual narratives.
My approach is collaborative, detail-driven, and always rooted in authenticity.
my values
Connection. Memorable content is born from authentic connections, where collaboration and trust come together to tell a story that truly resonates.
Expression. Every project is an opportunity to give voice to a unique vision. Through creative direction and tailored storytelling, each narrative comes alive, evoking emotions and speaking to the heart.
Precision. It’s in the details—the quiet moments, the timing, the elements coming together perfectly. With a meticulous yet effortless approach, everything flows seamlessly, ensuring an experience that’s both smooth and striking.
“Great visuals don’t just capture moments - they bring your story to life.”
- Nic, Founder
Before launching Bowden Studio, I worked in strategic and operational leadership roles. That experience still shapes how I work: clear systems, thoughtful planning, and an ability to stay calm when things get busy.
A Little More About Me
I’m known for my calm energy, big-picture thinking, and down-to-earth approach. I genuinely love what I do — and I bring that energy into every project I take on.
Let’s create something meaningful together.
