Ian Howard

Co-founder and Strategist

I've spent the past 20 years in executive roles both client side and in some of the most successful global agencies in Aotearoa New Zealand — as CEO at Isobar, Managing Director at Little Giant and Head of Strategy at Interbrand among others. 

In my spare time I'm an obsessed ultra-runner, keen rock climber and tragic board gamer.

Sarah Howard

Co-founder and Designer

I have worked with some of the world’s most powerful and recognisable brands in design director roles at independent agencies across Aotearoa New Zealand and the UK. 

I find balance through yoga, hiking and scuba diving. I ruin this good work with Instagram.

We believe that in no small way the success of the company is due to Bright Studio's total professionalism in delivering exactly what we needed.
