Designer Evie Kemp recently helped complete an interior makeover with a difference – she was contacted by the charity Woven Earth and asked to help transform a very plain double garage at the Te Whānau Rangimarie women’s refuge safe house in Auckland. The garage is used as a playroom-second living area at the house, which can accommodate up to 19 women and children who have escaped domestic violence. But it was in desperate need of a little love and attention.

A little project to keep Jemima Riley-Duddin busy during lockdown, has landed her international recognition with a major children’s clothing label.
Jemima’s artwork was chosen in a worldwide competition to appear on the front of a Minti T-shirt.
Minti is a Melbourne-based clothing label that is popular for its cartoon-type designs. The competition was run during lockdown on Minti’s Instagram page, to help children pass the time.
It was open to children up to the age of 14, and the prize, as well as $A300 ($NZ320), was to have the winning artworks featured in their next collection. Jemima’s “Uni-corn” was one of three images chosen.
