About ZIVA

Aimee is the creative powerhouse behind many of ZIVA's ads.

While studying Social Science and Education—and travelling the globe—she nurtured her creativity as a graphic designer and video editor before specializing in advertising creative.

Aimee joined ZIVA in 2020 and immersed herself in perfecting her design skills. She's completed advanced courses in graphic design and video editing, always staying ahead of the latest trends.

Outside work, Aimee enjoys tending to her vegetable garden, staying active, and discovering hidden beaches around her home.

Fashionista Bex began her career in styling for international productions, before spending several years as a model agent—picking up a sharp eye for detail and a deep understanding of visual communication.

Besides her unique creative expression, Bex brings a highly structured approach to her projects (unusually for a designer, she loves a spreadsheet!)

Outside work, she's usually painting, sewing, or deep in a craft project.

Whether it's building something new or solving problems, Craig loves working with people. And people love working with Craig.

He spent six years in the fast-paced cricket betting industry, where he learned to follow the data and make the right decisions under pressure—skills which come in handy during a big client launch at ZIVA.

When he's not cycling, hiking or gaming, Craig can be found tuning into a Formula 1 race or catching up on the cricket.

Iggy has been building eCommerce websites for over a decade. If you can imagine a feature, chances are he's built it!

He thrives on turning novel and niche ideas into reality and enjoys navigating even the most challenging technical puzzles. Staying ahead of emerging tech trends, Iggy actively integrates innovations like AI—but always with a thoughtful eye toward maintaining our humanity.

Choosing a quieter pace of life, Iggy resides on a peaceful sheep farm. In his free time, he enjoys cooking, relaxing with his cat and two dogs, and occasionally producing techno music in his home studio.

Jenna began her career as a web developer before discovering her true passion: working with clients to bring their ideas to life.

With a strong technical foundation and a love for clear communication, Jenna helps clients craft campaigns that truly connect and make an impact.

When she's not managing campaigns or diving into data, you'll probably find her upside down in a yoga inversion, cycling up a hill, or curled up with a good book and her two beagles, Benji and Molly.

In his previous career as a civil engineer, Jon worked on multi-million-dollar renewable energy projects. Now he brings that hi-spec analysis and delivery to ZIVA.

His role is to bring all ZIVA's talents together and keep projects ticking. Jon prides himself on his door always being open—for work or anything else the team needs.

In his spare time, Jon can be found sailing his 45-year-old Hobie 16 on high alpine lakes or learning about a wide array of topics, from African conservation to motorcycle maintenance.

She has worked in retail for 8 years, working hard and thriving under pressure. It really helped her work with all different kinds of people and personalities and adapt to changes and demands quickly! She took to making silly little vlogs and videos on different platforms on her breaks and grew a love for social media and what makes it tick, wanting to dive deeper into it as a career — and that has now manifested into her life as a social media manager! She left behind retail but took the patience and lessons it taught her along the way.

Outside of work you'll find her swimming in the ocean, hunting down the best sushi spots, writing poetry she'll probably never share, house and pet sitting people's fur babies while they travel, going to concerts, working on some DIY project, and visually documenting her own life through TikTok or Instagram!

One of ZIVA's three (!) former engineers, Luke also brings a formidable array of other skills and experience. He's a web designer and developer, project manager, and design engineer.

During his engineering career in New Zealand he managed several multi-million-dollar projects, and now he brings that high-wire attention to detail to our clients' launches.

Away from his desk, Luke can be found making his own yogurt, watching for UFOs, or building custom motorbikes.

Mikhaela (AKA Mix or Mama Mixi 🌞) is the founder of ZIVA and the keeper of our mission.

She is passionate about serving the health, wellness, personal development, and spiritual niches—helping clients who make a positive impact in the world.

When she's not at her screen, Mix loves yoga, dancing, rock climbing, hiking, surfing, and spending time with her family.
