Spring

Toni Woolf
Toni Woolf - Designer
Having always been into anything art and
crafty, it wasn’t until college when I realised
my passion for graphic design. After working
for a number of years in design positions, I
started creating more personalised projects
such as invitations and wedding stationery
as a side-line for friends and family. I soon
found these works were giving me more
freedom of creativity, so with a young baby
and new-found me, I decided to make
the leap and progress into starting up my
own business from home, now Brutalful
Creations (aptly re-named after my Roller
Derby persona of Miss Brutalfly), where I
could really let my creativity bloom.
It’s been over 20 years now in the industry
(wow, am I ‘that’ old!), I have an almost
12-year-old, and my passion for design and
art sees me spending my days producing a
wide range of visual creations for clientele
extending from right here in Marlborough,
throughout New Zealand and even overseas
as far away as Kuwait. The business has
expanded over the past two years after
incorporating the talents of business and
life partner, Fleur Ehrhorn, upcycler and
re-lover of retro and pallet wood furniture,
where we now also create wooden art
works, personalised prints and home décor.
Thank you...
We would like to say a special thanks to all
those who have supported the Magazine
throughout the previous 10 years. Your
support has been invaluable and appreciated
beyond words could say. Here’s to more
fulfilled years to come with the magazines’
old friends and new. We would also like to
acknowledge the loyality of Xfoliate Beauty
Salon, who have been with us since the very
first issue!
It was during 2012, after doing the odd little
advert for the original this&that, that I was
approached by Nadine Hickman, to jump
on board with the design and layout side of
the fast-growing magazine. Being involved
with this&that and seeing it grow from the
basic paper read, to a small 16-page flick-
through, and now evolving into the new
48-page Marlborough Magazine, has been a
fantastic journey of creation and expansion.
Working alongside a small team of
wonderful women has given me the
opportunity to continue my passion, and
continue my business, learning and growing
with the magazine. Even after all this time,
each and every month still manages to bring
new, uplifting content which helps keep me
inspired and passionate about my work. It
is an honor to work with all who have been
involved ‘behind the cover’ over the past
6+ years, a team of inspiring, extraordinary
women, a true testament to the adage ‘You
can always tell who the strong women are,
they're the ones building one another up
instead of tearing each other down.’
