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 Queenstown, 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. 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.
