Our Team

  • Anita Niven – Founder & Creative Lead

    Anita is the heart of Heart Creative. With over 20 years of experience in the design industry, she’s worked with everything from local businesses to global brands, delivering creative solutions that make an impact. Her expertise spans branding, brochures, packaging, website design, and more – all driven by a passion for helping clients tell their stories visually.

    Anita’s approach is both strategic and hands-on, combining big-picture thinking with an eye for detail. Whether crafting a bold brand identity or designing an elegant corporate document, she thrives on creating work that’s as functional as it is beautiful.

    When she’s not designing, Anita enjoys spending time with her family, including her four-legged sidekick, Archie, and soaking up the inspiration that comes from living in Beachlands. At Heart Creative, she’s all about bringing fresh ideas to life – with heart, skill, and a dash of creativity.

  • Andrew Niven – Operations & Strategy Consultant

    Andrew brings a wealth of experience in operations and strategic planning to Heart Creative. With a strong background in business development and process optimisation, he ensures that projects run smoothly and deliver exceptional results. His analytical mindset and attention to detail perfectly complement the creative energy of the team, driving efficiency and effectiveness in everything Heart Creative delivers.

    When he’s not streamlining workflows or devising innovative strategies, Andrew enjoys exploring the outdoors, spending time with his family, and following his passion for Formula 1. His love for precision and performance – on and off the track – reflects his commitment to excellence in every aspect of his work.

  • Archie Niven – Chief Morale Officer

    Archie, our resident spoodle is the fluffiest member of the Heart Creative team. With 10 years of life experience, he brings boundless enthusiasm, unmatched loyalty, and an uncanny ability to nap through even the busiest workdays.

    Though he’s a bit hard of hearing these days (okay, almost entirely), Archie’s still quick to pick up on the important stuff – like snack time. True to spoodle form, he’s affectionate, slightly mischievous, and always ready to remind us that the best ideas come with a good stretch and a wag of the tail.

    When he’s not supervising creative sessions, you can find Archie snoozing under the desk or keeping a close eye on anything edible. After all, every team needs a little fluffy inspiration!
