About Us

 

Little Monkey NZ is a family owned and run business, based in Pāpāmoa, New Zealand.

Born out of the desire to create custom gifts for kids, Little Monkey NZ has evolved from hand-cut, hand-painted puzzles and stamps to 3D printed and laser cut designs. Still the same great customised designs, but with a technical flair!

Lynley is the creative brains behind the designs. She draws every design you see and through the magic of technology turns into amazing 3D printed and laser cut designs. Lynley has been working full time in the business since 2019, balancing motherhood with her art. Growing up, Lynley dreamed of being an artist, creating with paint and pen, however, now she draws with iPads and computers. 

Joel is the behind the scenes, make things happen, type of guy. Running the print farm, the lasers and telling dad jokes is a full time gig! Joel has been full time with Little Monkey NZ since the middle of 2024, although has been working many (many) late nights in the shed for the last few years.

Luka, Arlo and Myla provide the inspiration, the exasperation and the laughs for the Little Monkey NZ team! As full time models, the 3 littlest monkeys take great pride in showing off the newest designs and products mum and dad make! Luka even has his own website- Funny Faces- where he has his own product line of key rings and bag tags- all designed and made by Luka!
