Hi, I’m Ann. Creative Director of Watson & Wyatt.
After working in the events industry for over 25 years, I continue to have a strong passion for Event Management and Design.
I started my career in event design in Wellington. I quickly rose through the ranks and founded my first company — Red Pebble Event Design. We became highly-regarded in the industry for producing top-tier events that consistently leave guests blown away. We hosted various national corporate events for many well-known public companies such as Tourism New Zealand, New Zealand Rugby Union, and New Zealand Post.
In 2016 I decided I wanted a change of pace so I sold Red Pebble and moved back to Queenstown — a place with family roots and a lifelong connection. Although Queenstown is very tourism-focused, it still has a small-town feel. I wanted to create large-scale destination events for national and international companies alike and, most importantly, be able to offer everything that a city location can provide. With this mission in mind, Watson & Wyatt was born.
