All Blacks YouTube App
Case Study | View App
I worked with social media agency Catalyst90 to develop a small Facebook app for the All Blacks Facebook page, which has close to 2 millions likes. The app is lightweight, and seamlessly displays a YouTube feed from the All Black’s YouTube channel, with a custom branded interface.

Case Study | View Site
The Embassy of Japan in New Zealand is an important resource for people looking to travel to Japan, and as a contact point for Japanese people living in New Zealand. The existing website lacked a clear information hierarchy and structure, making it hard to navigate. I was able to provide an effective website solution that fulfilled the brief on time.

In creative partnership with my brother, Connor (Rapley Bros.) I designed and built a website to showcase his creative portfolio of film and theatre projects. I knew Connor had a certain style to his character acting, so together we decided on a low-key aesthetic, with darker colours and steel greys.

The NZDA is a non-government organisation that directly represents over 10,000 members throughout New Zealand. I came onboard with the NZDA account in 2011, and in that time we have seen an 11% growth in membership. Importantly we have been able to recapture our engagement with existing members through innovative use of social media.
