At The Letter Q, we design heritage interpretation that brings the past to life and makes meaning visible in the present. As a creative consultancy specialising in placemaking, planning, and experience design, we work with partners who have a story to tell — iwi, councils, museums, and cultural organisations across New Zealand and Australia. Our projects often draw from social history, natural history, and the rich perspectives of te ao Māori, weaving these threads together to express how people and landscapes shape one another. Combining research, writing, and image procurement with deep experience in spatial and graphic design, we translate archives, oral histories, and cultural narratives into interpretive experiences that resonate with audiences and enrich a sense of place.

Heritage interpretation with The Letter Q is about more than panels and signs — it’s about creating coherent journeys through landscape, architecture, and memory. We work collaboratively from concept to completion, ensuring every interpretive element reflects authenticity, accessibility, and respect for context. Whether revitalising a historic site, designing an outdoor trail, or developing interpretive masterplans, The Letter Q bring insight, creativity, and cultural sensitivity to every project — helping stories of people, nature, and place find their voice where they truly belong.
