Exciting times with the Locus team increasing by two members this month. Our graphic designer Ailie has delivered William Duncan MacGregor Poole, who arrived with a bang on November 5th. We'll be watching William's progress over the next few months and will no doubt have him working on Illustrator alongside Mum as soon as he is able.

Joining us as an intern for the summer will be Mark Buntzen. A second year Product Design student at Unitec, Mark is excited to have joined Locus for a three month internship where he will be undertaking research and product development under the watchful eyes of Tim and Blythe, and fitting in a bit of the outdoor recreation that Mt Maunganui is known for.

Mark has prior qualifications in science and work experience in geology, geographic information systems, and management consulting. His interests include environmentally-benign life-enhancing design, lighting, sculpture, mountainbiking and petanque.
