Snaffle Design is a North Canterbury Graphic Design Studio with over 13 years in business we strive to deliver value to brands and businesses through exceptional aesthetics.

In equestrian terms, the snaffle is a delicate tool placed inside a horse’s mouth. When used with refinery and finesse, the snaffle creates harmony and art between the horse and rider, the delivery of the performance between horse and rider looks effortless but there is a lifetime of mastery and learning that goes on behind the scenes...

A situation not dissimilar to what we do at our Snaffle, the one you are here reading about.

Our founder Sarah (read more about her below) is not only a keen horse rider, but a talented graphic designer, too.

Snaffle Design has developed a strong reputation for delivering an unforgettable rebrand as well as polished design outcomes that stand the test of time for our clients, many of which have been with us well over a decade.

You heard it here first, straight from the horse’s mouth.

About Sarah

Sarah (we mentioned her above) is an avid horse lover with a shared passion for design.

With a talent for visual communication, and a Bachelor of Design from Ara Polytechnic (then CPIT). Her skill set includes a passion for logo design, magazines, photography and website design while career experience has lead to strong print and prepress understanding.

While globetrotting, she became fluent in German and since moving back to Christchurch in 2013 runs her own graphic design studio, while still pursuing equestrian excellence alongside raising her young family.

Transcending industries and business sectors, Sarah’s clients include building companies, landscapers, the Court Theatre, food products, a vast variety of small-large sized businesses and many more.

Sarah’s design approach has close ties to her equestrian background in dressage. Both require discipline, feeling and creativity, a respect for the fundamentals and the courage to break a few rules every now and then.
