what some of our most valued clients have to say about us
Grant Major
Grant Major is a multi-award winning designer, specializing in film production, commercial design, exhibition and events design.
To whom it may concern,
I've known the guys at IZZAT Design for many years during which time they have turned out a large variety of specialized hand made props and models that have featured in some of the most well known films in the world and television commercials.
Their professionalism and good humour has prevailed, often through difficult time frames and briefs, at all times maintaining very high standards of finish and back-up.
I happily recommend them to whomever or whatever project they get involved with and wish them well in building up their company.
Yours sincerely,
Grant Major.

Just a short note of thanks for all the amazing work you did for the Tangata O le Moana exhibition. Although the exhibition has only been open to the public for a short time many people have personally commented to me about the quality of the model canoes.
The three small model vaka and the large tipaerua sailing canoe from the Society Islands really bring the construction and voyaging skills of Ancient Polynesians to life. Their quality and precise detailing allow museum visitors to examine the sailing vessels of the past up close and imagine the stories associated with their histories.
It has been great working with your team. I was impressed by the skill, and dedication you all brought to your work. Your extra research and efforts to find the weavers in the pacific community was much appreciated.
I hope an opportunity comes up for us to work together again in the future.
Yours sincerely

Omaka Aviation Heritage museum
The Omaka Aviation Heritage Centre was established to provide a world-class destination for the appreciation of historic aircraft.
I just wanted to thank everyone who worked so hard on getting the exhibits ready for the Omaka opening. What we've done is to create a wonderful collection of displays any museum could be proud of, and by all accounts, early visitors to Omaka are full of admiration. There's more to be done to get the museum ready for the Easter airshow, and prepare the cabinet displays, but I promise the bulk of the "heavy lifting" is over. I hope many of you were able to be down in Omaka for the opening.
The high quality and skill on display in this museum is only a reflection of the effort and care each and everyone put into it. It's a classic case of just about every bit of sweat and toil ending up right there in display. It is a display of hand crafted work of the greatest skill.
So thank you, for caring so much in this project, to give it the extra 110% you have. I really appreciate it, as will many visitors from all over the world.

Mike Britton
Managing Director of the Royal Forest and Bird Protection Society of New Zealand.
When Forest & Bird moved offices in 2006, it was struck with a dilemma: how to replicate its distinctive, colourful conservation presence in Wellington’s cityscape?
Our previous office was housed in a large art deco building completely covered in a huge mural of forests, birds, dolphins and other wildlife. The new office was a very ordinary second-storey office space, with no distinguishing features to “make it our own”.
We approached the guys at Izzat Design to see how they could help us put our stamp on our new home. The solution was a four-metre long tui perched atop kowhai blooms on our rooftop, warbling and whistling over the city streets to announce Forest & Bird’s presence.
Right from the start of the creative process, talking to Forest & Bird’s team and coming up with ideas and designs, through to the technical aspects of turning the vision into reality, Izzat was fantastic to work with.
Forest & Bird was involved right the way through, and got to see each stage along the way – the design drawings, the scale model of our tui, then watching him emerging full-size and 3-D was a really fun process and kept us in the loop the whole time.
The biggest excitement was the day that a huge crane came to lift the tui onto his perch on the rooftop. We all breathed a sigh of relief when he landed in one piece, but we needn’t have worried: Izzat may be creative people but they also had all the technical and safety issues in safe hands.
Our giant tui remains the crowning glory of our office – if we ever need to direct a new visitor to our offices we just tell them “look for the tui”. In honour of the great job done by Izzat we even named the tui “Izzy”
