About ripe design

Graphic designer Kate Merrifield Mason

Hi I’m Kate Merrifield Mason, founder of Ripe Design.

I’m a designer with 20 years + experience and I still have a relentless passion for design!

Combining this with a logical rationale, my mission for every single job is to help clients achieve successful, effective design and branding. Therefore bringing out the very best in their products while striving for that point of difference to stand out from the crowd.


My experience

After several years in London design agencies, designing for global brands such as Lego and Dulux, I worked directly for several UK high street brands including M&S, Boots, Waitrose, Virgin and WHSmiths.

Since moving to NZ over a decade ago I’m consistently inspired by NZ products and innovation, and infuse the same attention to detail to a small start-up company's logo to developing an established brand over multiple product ranges.


working with ripe

Specialising in creating logos, branding, packaging including structural solutions, Ripe covers the entire design from dissecting initial briefs, concepts and development, selecting special print finishes through to overseeing printers, for the very best end result.
