Elaina Culbert – Website & Graphic Designer in Christchurch
Eight Project Design is a small freelance design studio based in Christchurch, helping small and medium businesses across New Zealand build a brand and online presence they're proud of.
I'm Elaina — owner, designer, and your one point of contact from start to finish. I create websites, branding, and marketing material that helps businesses like yours attract customers and grow. With over 10 years in the design and marketing industry, a Bachelor of Commerce in Marketing and Management, and a diploma in Graphic Design, I bring both creative and commercial thinking to every project.
Before starting Eight Project, I worked with design agencies and spent time in the wine industry in Marlborough — which gave me a strong appreciation for craft, detail, and businesses that take pride in what they do.
Outside of work I enjoy riding my bike, nature, animals of every variety, playing records, daily chocolate, nice stationery and a quest to poach the perfect egg.
Ready to work together? I'd love to hear about your project.
You Can Count On Me For

Craftsmanship
I take pride in the details — every project gets my full attention, whether it's a logo, a website, or a single page of marketing material. You'll always receive work I'm genuinely proud to put my name on.
-
Fresh Thinking
I bring creative ideas to every brief and look for design solutions that are distinctive and right for your business.
-
Clear Communication
I keep things simple and transparent. You'll always know where your project is at, what's coming next, and I'll make sure I properly understand your vision before I start designing.

Designs Built Around You
Everything I create is tailored to your business and your customers — not adapted from a template or recycled from another project.
