Bryanna Stitt

I have always had a passion for all things design, fashion, colour and expression! Working with Resene since 2020, I have thoroughly enjoying bringing my client's visions to life and creating beautiful spaces that express each individual's personality.

I have experience with a wide range of projects, varying from light and neutral new build exteriors to quirky and bold heritage interiors. My goal is to show customers what is possible with colour and to give them the confidence to make bold choices without the need to feel restricted by any "rules".

"Colour is a power which directly influences the soul." – Wassily Kandinsky

Christine Hodges

I've been sharing my love for colour and design with all my clients, both residential and commercial, for over 20 years at Resene. As well as assisting many clients, I have firsthand experience of the new build process on my own first home and have completed many home renovations. I take the time to listen to your needs and what you want to achieve out of your project and work with you to create something that is personal to you. I am always learning about new ways to use colour and decorate projects and look forward to sharing this knowledge with you too.

Connor Watson

I'm a colour consultant with a background in Creative Media Design and a strong foundation in client-focused work. My experience as a qualified hair colourist taught me the value of listening and guiding people toward choices that feel right. I've always loved the emotional power of colour and now I help clients find the shades that truly feel like home. I especially enjoy using digital tools to help bring each client's ideas to life and make the process easy and inspiring.

Jill Marsh

After many years in retail fashion I started at Resene as a Colour Consultant in 2010 based in the Dunedin Resene ColorShop. With a passion for colour I love helping clients develop colour schemes whether they are classic/contemporary, bold or quirky and bringing their ideas to life. I assist clients with colour options for a wide variety of projects from exterior and interior repaints to new builds/schools/hospitality and commercial projects. Navigating all the options can be a very daunting process and this is where I can help.

Megan Lawson

My journey with Resene started working in the Tauranga Resene ColorShop which provided me with invaluable hands-on product and colour knowledge. With a love for colour, textiles and design, I completed the NZ Certificate in Interior Décor and NZ Diploma in Interior Design to develop my expertise even further. With a strong fascination towards colour psychology, and the emotional impact it can have, it's my passion to work alongside clients to develop colour schemes to suit their own individual lifestyle and personality.

Meryl Southey

With a diploma in interior design, certificates in Colour Therapy and a passion for international trends and creativity, I like to apply my knowledge of how colour works to help my clients create spaces that reflect their wants, needs and personalities. My roles with Resene have developed over many years in the industry working with both retail and commercial customers on projects big and small. I currently work with clients in New Zealand and Australia helping them with colour advice online and through virtual colour consultations and provide expert advice for a range of media. I love how my work varies daily from residential homes to quirky paint projects.
