design for tourism

                                I was back down at Motuti Marae last week - for a doco being made
                                for TV. Paula Bennett,  the  Hon Minister for Social Development,
                                turned up to see  how things were going and her first question to me
                                was Milan to Motuti?? But how do you explain the glamour of setting
                                up a design studio in a  marae ??  Its the sort of inspiration one is hard
                                pressed to find in a Milan bookstore......
