Taine Paki

B.LA

Graduate Landscape Architect

Taine draws on his creative side in all aspects of his mahi.

He has digital design, animation and visualisation skills that he gained during his studies, graduating in 2021 with a Bachelor of Landscape Architecture from Victoria University. Forming part of our landscape team he works on urban master planning, spatial mapping and detailed design packages.

Further adding to his repertoire, is his creative outlet outside of the office where he fulfils a passion for music production and Dj’ing.

Taine spent his younger years living in both Sydney and Perth before returning to his homeland – Aotearoa after the passing of his great-grandmother Mandy Robinson. This event was the catalyst for Taine to reconnect with whanau and whenua and to learn and understand his identity and ancestry.
