History
Cactuslab is an independent web and app design and development studio founded in 2001 in Auckland, New Zealand.
We build bespoke websites and full (or hybrid) native mobile apps for a wide variety of clients, bringing to each project a long-term strategic mindset, a thorough understanding of appropriate technology, a commitment to quality, a focus on humans and a relentless eye for detail.
Our team specialises in typographically driven, user-centred approaches to presenting content to all audiences on all devices, and our work is regularly recognised—including in our national design awards and elsewhere.
If you have a project you’d like us to undertake, please get in touch.
