Independent Creative Design Studio

Senior creative thinking.
Direct access.
Exceptional design.

I’m Justine Penny, founder of Treehouse Studio.

I partner directly with businesses across New Zealand to turn complex ideas into clear, compelling visual communications. Projects can vary from one-off marketing campaigns or events to flexible graphic design services and marketing support for your team.

Let's talk

No account manager. No layers.
No passing your project around.

You get me.

For projects that need extra hands, I bring in trusted specialists but you’ll always know who’s pushing the pencil.

Let's talk

  • Graphic Design – Print, social, digital, full marketing campaigns, B2B and B2C, annual reports, flyers – the list is endless!

    Illustration – Bespoke creative for your brand, your space, or anything in between.

    Art Direction – Brand libraries, campaign assets or the next iconic ‘look and feel’.

    Brand Identity – If you need a brand from scratch or a full company makeover, I can take care of it.

    Thinking – Stuck on where to take your next campaign, what to do for your next event or business’ milestone? Book some time with me to give you back concepts that tie directly into your goals.

  • I’ve got my own commercial studio space in Auckland’s growing North West precinct where you’ll generally find me most days.

    I’m available in person for meetings across Auckland, otherwise I’m always near my phone for a quick call or zoom.

  • Investment can vary depending on what’s required – I’m happy to quote a project or send through my rate card if needed.

    Let’s just say you’ll get agency level skill without the overheads!

Client appreciation

    She’s very responsive, easy to work with, open to feedback, and consistently produces beautiful work. I really value the way she approaches projects with both clarity and care. Justine is a valued partner of realestate.co.nz”

  • “We absolutely love working with Justine at Treehouse Studio.  She’s done a brilliant job of refreshing and revitalising our content – everything feels fresh, clean, and thoughtfully executed.

    Beyond the design work itself, Justine is an absolute pleasure to deal with: responsive, intuitive, and genuinely invested in getting things right.

    We couldn’t be happier with the results and would highly recommend her to anyone looking to elevate their brand”.

  • “Justine engaged in refreshing our SkyCity Hotels Brands – she is always a pleasure to deal with, her professionalism and intuitive designs in understanding our brands and overall vision is outstanding. The overall execution took full consideration of the customer journey, ensuring concepts were fit for purpose. Very unique and distinct in her design approach and creativity.

    Always personable, prompt, responsive, and goes above and beyond to ensure that she meets customer’s overall objectives. We loved working with Justine and look forward to future projects with her and Treehouse Studio.”

  • “Communicating the heart and authenticity behind our kaupapa at Zeal is critical for us to genuinely welcome rangatahi (young people) from all walks of life to find whānau and hapori, and help our whānau of key partners see the life-giving impact they have on rangatahi in Aotearoa. Working with Justine is a true partnership. She asks astute questions that help her quickly understand and crystalise the who, what, why and how of a piece she is working on. She is an intuitive designer with great empathy and her designs tell a clear and beautiful story. In the non-profit space, you have to move at lightspeed, and Justine smashed all expectations out of the park, delivering a massive annual report in only a couple of revisions. Her report builds on and enhances our visual brand, and I'm excited to share it with our community”.
