About us
Just a band of sweet-misfits out to make a glorious mess of goodness for Wellingtonians (at the moment) to abide.
Julie McMacMiller
Laughing chief
Can use her right foot as an extra hand due to a childhood “thing” she won’t tell us more about.
David Linseed-Oil
Confused consultant
Once traveled to Peru and never changed his underwear once, all on a dare and a promise of a kiss.
Kate Ate Murray
Snarling coach
Learned how to swim but only the backstroke due to her fear of the colour light blue.
Our core values
With massive thanks to our inspirational cousin, Creative Mornings:
Audacity
Creativity is about being bold and trying new things so mundane folks stay away.
Respect
We have a ‘no assholes’ rule and not interested in expending energy on folks who talk when they should be listening.
Kindness
We try our very best to be fully inclusive and accessible to all. Tenderness is one of our favourite words!
Our project in numbers
If that’s your jam(-roll)!

We like actioneers—folks with a bias towards action on a volunteer basis.
