New Blog Post - Create and Flow Print on Demand Store is Now Online

Create and Flow Print on Demand Store is Up and Running :)

28/07/2026

My print on demand store is officially back up and running.

After years of trying to get this right, I’ve finally found a solution that feels sustainable, reliable, and worth sharing.

I’ve moved away from US based companies and switched to a local New Zealand supplier, Digitees. That means I can offer products I trust, with pricing and quality I’m confident standing behind.

Yes, the ordering process is a little less seamless, but the trade off is better quality control and a better product for you.

If you need branded merchandise for your business, or you love custom designs around ADHD, autism, activism, and creative fun pieces, head to the link in my bio and check out the store.

There are already a few designs live, including BeSuite Fitness client merch and some of my own tees, and this is just the beginning.

And honestly, one of the most exciting parts of this journey was being in Auckland for my Master’s studies and walking past AS Colour. Seeing the exact garments my designs are printed on, all together and colour coordinated, made everything feel so real. Being able to actually touch and feel the products is something you just do not get when you are doing everything remotely, and it gave me even more confidence in the direction I’ve chosen.

I’m excited to keep building this out and adding more products soon. 🥰

Hi All 👋

Announcing that I have been working on my Master of Technological Futures. It is a research master’s, which if you know me, I’ve been doing my entire life. 🤓 Except now I really get to dig my teeth into it! 😁

I am like a kid in a candy store with all of this. 🥳

I’m super busy at the same time with parenting and client projects, but I’m still active. I’ve just hit a wall when it comes to posting, as one does when one is neurodivergent. 

But here are some updates from the last few months. 

So far we have covered:

IoT

3D Industrial Printing

Robotics

AI and Machine Learning

AI Surveillance

Gene Editing

Solar Energy

Future of Education

Ethics & Tethics

Māori/Indigenous Thinking

Futures Thinking

and more

I also just completed my coursework on Quantum Computing, and it blew my mind that the computer I am writing this on is now deemed classical computing. 🤯

I could see the writing on the wall. As a photographer, graphic designer and web designer I had to figure out how to pivot and use the new tools available to me.

Even while learning all of this, I have this gut feeling that through this technology, we will lean into what it means to be human. 🌌

I wouldn't have been able to get to this point without the support of my whanau and friends. Thank you so much for helping me in this new chapter!!! ❤️❤️❤️

More updates soon!! 🎉

Hi, my name is Taryn. I like to make art, and then not tell anyone I made the art, because then people might know I made the art and they might ask me to make art for them. But I don't really want to - but also, capitalism, and we need to eat, and the power bill, and my car needs a warrant. So, here is my art that I'm actually really proud of. Even if you think it's cringe, I don't care; you make art. Please watch the full video on YouTube, subscribe, like and comment - it’s a good way to support my creative process so I can continue to make art.

Kia ora. My name is Taryn. I am a graphic designer, photographer, and web designer. I am Māori Pākehā.

Growing up at Hongoeka Marae, my cousins teasingly called me a “palangi Māori”. White enough to be automatically accepted. Māori enough to carry the generational trauma of colonisation. Irish enough to be defiant. Māori enough to know my grandmother stood on our whenua, and her grandmother stood there before her.

Māori and Pākehā enough to understand the promise of Te Tiriti o Waitangi, and how this document enables human rights and environmental protections for everyone here.

Kiwi enough to know that our current government is screwing us, hiding behind its dog whistles that incite racism while pushing legislation that benefits mega corporations through Parliament.

Kiwi enough to know that we will all go toe-to-toe on the line, peacefully, to fight injustice.
Because that is what people do when they love this place.

This is not Māori versus Pākehā or Pākehā versus Māori.
This is us versus mega corporations and gas barons.
Us versus to***co companies and multinational food giants.
Us versus landlords of all nationalities who treat housing like a business but refuse to pay tax like one.
Us versus systems that quietly funnel wealth upward while everyday people struggle to survive.

Yes, we matter.
And what we do here ripples outward.

Aotearoa has led progress before, often long before it was comfortable or popular. From the peaceful resistance at Parihaka, to becoming the first country to grant women the right to vote, to standing against apartheid when it fractured the nation, we have repeatedly chosen people, justice, and long-term wellbeing over profit and power.

The systems we live under were built by people.
They can be rebuilt by people.

Major parties including the National Party, Labour Party, ACT Party, and New Zealand First have received declared donations from corporate entities, industry-linked trusts, or associated lobby groups connected to sectors such as property development, banking, energy, extractive industries, and to***co, as published by the Electoral Commission.

CHANGING THE NARRATIVE
ONE MERCH DROP AT A TIME

As a late-diagnosed woman with ADHD, my diagnosis came as a relief.

Looking back on childhood, adulthood, and motherhood through this lens brought clarity and compassion. So many things I once believed were personal failures were never that at all. They were the result of a brain wired differently in a world not designed for it.

ADHD still carries deep misunderstanding and stigma. This drop exists to help change that narrative.

ADHD is an inherited brain structure. Just as there are many shades of cats, there are many shades of human brains. Some thrive in highly structured systems. Others are wired for gathering, creating, noticing patterns, moving with intuition, and responding to the world around them.

When we understand this and shape environments that support different ways of thinking, neurodivergence does not just survive.

It thrives.

This isn’t just clothing.

It’s visibility.

It’s language shifting.

It’s a quiet statement worn loudly.

By wearing this, you’re helping rewrite the story for adults, for kids, and for the next generation growing up wondering why they feel different.
