Studio Alexander appoints General Manager

Leading design agency Studio Alexander has appointed David Hebblethwaite to the new position of General Manager.

David joins Studio Alexander from Auckland Museum where he was Artistic Director, most recently leading the master plan for the redevelopment of Voyager New Zealand Maritime Museum as a compelling cultural destination on Auckland’s Waterfront. David also consults to the Powerhouse Museum (Sydney) and a number of other museums.

David trained as an architect in the United Kingdom and prior to coming to New Zealand was Creative Director and Project Director of Europe’s leading specialist exhibition design consultancy. David worked on projects throughout Europe, the Middle East and North America and led multiple complex design projects with budgets in excess of GBP £10 million.

"David brings to Studio Alexander extensive international experience in design and project management," Studio Alexander managing director Kate Alexander says. "Our clients are looking for strong design thinking to help deliver sustainable growth, and David brings a unique perspective to that conversation."

David Hebblethwaite says he was attracted to Studio Alexander by its reputation for delivering award-winning work for some of New Zealand's most successful companies, from Fletcher Building to personal brewery manufacturer, Williams Warn.

"I'm very much looking forward to joining their team, and contributing to their record of achievement."
