I SPECIALISE IN MERCHANDISE FOR ADVENTUROUS AND CREATIVE BUSINESSES

Head shot of Simon Dowding

Kia ora, my name's Simon. I’ve worked in and around merchandise for over a decade and bring with me an expertise in branding, print design, screen printing and merch. I help people recognise what their customers want and create unique merchandise that resonates with them. I aim to make things that your customers will value and ultimately create long term brand equity for you.

I live and work in a little house in ÅŒtautahi, New Zealand with my wife Anna and dog Milo. When I’m not creating merch I try to make the most of what Christchurch offers. Surfing in the summer, skiing in the winter and walking the hills around us. I get suckered in to trying new beers way too easily by their packaging, I still collect and listen to CDs in my workshop and I’ve got a small obsession with Liverpool Football Club.

SERVICES

I offer support where you need it across the whole process.

 

I care about getting a good result. I'm not in the business of cheap, disposable promo merch. I make stuff that people will keep.

DESIGN AND ARTWORK

Got ideas? I’ll help you turn them into designs that really capture your brand’s vibe. Together, we’ll create artwork that not only looks great but also resonate with your customers.

SCREEN PRINTING

I specialise in 1 and 2-colour printing and small runs to ensure each piece reflects your brand’s standards, creating merchandise that not only stands out but also makes your customers smile.

MERCH STRATEGY

Let's create a merch strategy that fits your brand like a glove. We’ll focus on what makes your audience tick, ensuring your products spark interest and build loyalty—turning one-time customers into enthusiastic fans.

SAMPLING

Before we go all in on production, I can whip up samples so you can see and feel your merch in person. It’s a fun way to fine-tune designs and ensure everything is spot-on, giving you confidence that your final products will wow your customers

PRODUCTION PARTNERSHIPS

I’ll take care of the production sourcing for you, connecting you with reliable suppliers who share your values for quality and sustainability. This way, you can focus on running your business while I ensure your merch is made right and responsibly.
