This project was dear to us. Working
with Auckland's freshest performing arts academy was very rewarding and culturally fulfilling.

The aim of this site was to inform users, showcase the academy's services and create a platform for students to learn online due to the pandemic and ongoing lockdowns.

AHMOA is an inspiring organisation that instills respect, encourages culture and nourishes talent.

If you can create a company that is valuable to people in an environment that is full of declining demand and rising unemployment, you are only going to be stronger when the economy starts to improve.

Starting a business now means you will be even more frugal with expenses, hiring, and what you need to get your company off the ground. Those are good, scrappy skills to have — no matter the environment — when you are an entrepreneur.

It's not just small businesses that are being affected by the COVID-19 pandemic. Even the largest companies and most heavily funded startups are laying people off right now.

Right now, the market is full of talented individuals looking for their next opportunity. Especially as more and more companies move to remote workforces, this will open even more doors for the right workers to find the right companies, and vice versa.

Now is a great time to find a cofounder and other teammates and build a category-defining company.

Generally, new consumer startups tend to be at the forefront of where the world is going — with a digital-first focus, content heavy education and differentiation, and convenience focus for their customers. For those reasons, it's no surprise that many of these businesses are suited for the current environment.

But what about companies that aren't so lucky to be benefiting from these changes? Rule number one of entrepreneurship: When things go wrong, you don't just give up, crawl back into bed, and eat ice cream. You get to work.

There's no perfect time to start a business. What matters is how motivated you are to begin, and if you have the perseverance to leverage any situation to make lemonade from lemons.
