About Creative Soles
​
We bring teams together through meaningful, hands-on shoe-painting experiences that go far beyond an ordinary team-building activity. At Creative Soles, we design workshops that spark creativity, strengthen connections, and inspire a shared sense of purpose.
​
During each session, colleagues step away from their usual routines to collaborate and have fun while creating art on brand-new shoes—transforming them into unique, heartfelt gifts. Every finished pair is carefully donated to women and children living in refuge facilities across New Zealand. These shoes offer more than just comfort or practicality; they carry a powerful message of care, dignity, and solidarity from one community to another.
​
Because when we create together, we deepen our bonds. And when we give together, we strengthen our communities, one thoughtful step at a time.
What we do
We love turning team-building into something truly special by mixing creativity with the chance to give back. Our workshops aren’t just about painting shoes—they’re about bringing people together in a relaxed, fun environment where everyone can share ideas, laugh, and create something meaningful.
​
Our team is here to make sure your experience is smooth, enjoyable, and impactful. Every session is designed to help your team connect in new ways while knowing they’re making a real difference for women and children in need.
Let us help you turn your next team-building day into a memorable experience your team will talk about long after the paint has dried.

Why it matters

You're not just creating art, you're creating impact!
I’ve always believed in the power of creativity to bring people together and make a difference. That belief led me to start Creative Soles—a team-building experience that transforms ordinary workdays into meaningful moments of connection and giving back.
After seeing how art can break down barriers and spark conversation, I wanted to create a way for teams to not only collaborate creatively but also leave a real impact on their community. That’s why every pair of shoes painted in our sessions is donated to women and children in refuge care across New Zealand.
For me, Creative Soles is about more than just art—it’s about empathy, hope, and reminding each other that every small act of kindness can ripple out to create change.
I’m honoured to share this journey with every team who joins us and every person who receives a pair of shoes made with love. Let’s create, connect, and give back—one sole at a time.
