Stan Scott

Written By Timothy Livingston

Bio

Best known as the Mitre 10 “Easy As” DIY guy, Stan Scott is a talented builder and creative tinkerer with a love for all things hands-on. A true collector of bits and bobs, Stan is forever adding treasures to his eclectic man shed — a space where tools, offcuts, and oddities become the spark for new projects. With decades of building know-how and a passion for sharing skills, Stan mixes practicality with creativity, proving that DIY is as much about imagination as it is about fixing things.

Description

Stan Scott has crafted a seat from salvaged timber of the Hikuwai Bridge, transforming remnants of a structure broken by flood into a place of rest and reflection. The piece carries both memory and mana – a reminder of the damage caused by Cyclone Gabrielle, but also of the resilience to rebuild and reimagine.

In Stan’s hands, the bridge is not lost, but given a new life as a gathering point. The seat becomes a place to pause, to connect, and to honour the relationship between people, whenua, and the structures that hold us together. Practical yet deeply symbolic, it embodies Stan’s creative ethos – resourceful, grounded, and always finding beauty in what remains.

The opportunity you have in life and business is to make choices that bring your WHY to life.

For me, my WHY is to create connection. To create meaningful and emotional connections with your communities, tribe, clients, business partners, customer. My job is to help you find it, clarify it, amplify it, and design it.

With over 15+ years of experience in graphic design specialising in brand development across digital media & print, my skill set is not just that of your average creative... on a typical day I can identify insights, come up with ideas, get excited about strategic marketing, execute outstanding campaigns, craft identities, websites, and everything in-between. Working on award-winning creative campaigns while delivering high-quality work with attention to detail is all in a days job… Coffee anyone?
