( 01 ) The studio

We pair a designer's eye with an engineer's precision — so your website feels calm and considered, and works beautifully underneath.

Our name

Like light on water — clear, calm and full of life.

Tova means good. It's a small word we carry into everything we make, and we hope it's the first one that comes to mind when you think of working with us.

( 04 ) About us

Two makers, one standard.

One of us lives in typography, user journeys and brand. The other lives in code, networks and the problems that don't come with instructions. Together we design what can be built — and build what's been beautifully designed.

We're based in Ōtautahi Christchurch, a short drive from the bays that shape our work, and we work with businesses right across Aotearoa.
