Kia ora! I’m Evelin, the creator, maker, and dreamer behind The Creative Loft, a New Zealand studio specialising in handmade stationery, personalised gifts, and celebration décor.

Gift-giving is my love language, so designing keepsakes that speak directly to someone’s heart feels perfectly natural. After 20 years of teaching children and adults, I craved a slower, tactile way to create. Crafting became my calm place, letting my hands work when my mind needs a pause. Today I design and assemble every order in our Auckland home studio, helped by my partner (a fellow small-business owner) and three very chilled cats.
