This week on The Creative Mother Podcast host Kate Hursthouse talks to creative mum of two Aroha Tamihana.
Aroha is a Māori creative passionate about promoting the Māori language and culture through unique designs, products and resources. Her creative business, Maimoa Creative is a design studio based in Tauranga. Aroha’s aim is to help normalise the use of te reo Māori throughout Aotearoa using her background in graphic design and brush-lettering calligraphy.
Aroha has two free te reo Māori prints you can download from her website. One is a beautiful bedtime karakia written by Scotty Morrison and the other is a duo print; one in te reo Māori and the English translation so you can display them side by side to help with learning.

Kate Hursthouse is an artist, creative business owner and single mother to one awesome kid. She has run her own creative business since 2014 and has been involved in a whole range of projects over the years - from commercial illustrations and design projects to contemporary art, children’s book illustrations and hand-painted murals.
She started this podcast to try and answer the question: how do we continue to be creative and produce creative work, while raising children? Her goal is to create a little corner of the internet where creative mothers share their stories and gain a feeling of community, understanding, and inspiration.
