And the story behind the name…
Kea is a smart and playful bird native to New Zealand that perfectly embodies the spirit of a KEA woman.

I got into swimwear because…
I was surfing a lot but had a hard time finding stylish and high quality swimwear that suited an active lifestyle for women. 

My design influences and inspirations…
Are drawn from both urban and natural environments. 

Best thing about owning your own business…
Having a hand in all aspects of the business and being in control of how you spend your time. 

And the challenges…
Learning to balance the ups and downs of what it takes to bring an idea to life.
 
And how I got over the above…
Thinking creatively and being open-minded about alternative options.
