Ngaio Parr
Artist, Curator & Founder
Ngaio is an artist, curator and founder of the fabulous Make Nice conference for creative women.
Ngaio is an illustrator, multidisciplinary designer, and curator who enjoys doing a lot of things at the same time. She works with clients like Thames & Hudson, Redbull, and Sibella Court from her independent studio. She’s also the director of Make Nice, consults with companies and conferences, and teaches illustration and design at the University of Technology Sydney.
Ngaio holds a Bachelor of Design from the Queensland College of Art and the Rhode Island School of Design, and a Bachelor of Fine Arts from the Queensland University of Technology. Her background in contemporary art and theory has helped develop an open-minded and resourceful design and illustration practice. Ngaio utilizes a variety of techniques (from digital to felt-tip pen), discovering the right medium to perfectly support and articulate the concept and/or message of each project. She works with a wide range of creative and talented clients all over the world.
In her spare time, Ngaio is a fan of ice-cream (of all kinds), Law & Order (of all kinds) and listening to people trying to pronounce her name (it’s nigh-oh).
