DSGNR is a niche agency, passionate about design in all forms.

DSGNR is based in the beautiful Waikato township of Cambridge, New Zealand. Our home-office is situated near Lake Karapiro, on the foothills of the mighty Maungatautari.

We have been privileged to work on private and commercial projects across the country, and are largely referral based. Clients find us via word-of-mouth, or are referred by suppliers and business colleagues.

You can find a brief bio for our people here.

Client privacy and about this website.

Because our clients value privacy, this website is a little different in that it will generally not feature their projects, other than the occasional detail. It's not intended to be a promotional tool in the traditional sense.

Instead, we have curated a range of design-related stories here that we hope you will find interesting.

Things that inspire us.

We have written about some of the things that inspire us and inevitably inform our work - favourite experiences, wonderful places both in New Zealand and further afield, interesting people and beautifully made things.

They include areas of interest like architecture, innovation and industrial design - and more. Each story has a design component or theme.

We hope you enjoy them.

Let's talk about your project.

If you have a significant design project, whether that be at home or place of business, we'd be pleased to discuss it with you.

Feel free to drop us a line, and let's have a chat.

We'd love to hear from you!
