BNZ Business Breakfast is a daily 30-minute business news programme streaming on TVNZ+, hosted by Mei Heron. A partnership between TVNZ and Bank of New Zealand, the show delivers local and international business news, real-time market updates, and expert economic analysis — designed to equip corporate leaders and small business owners with the information that matters most each morning.

 

The visual identity needed to feel modern and fresh while remaining distinct from TVNZ's existing Breakfast brand. Drawing inspiration from fintech app layouts and button-driven UI, the design is anchored by a warm dawn-sky palette and a distinct typographic approach that carries consistently across every format — from market data boards sourced from official stock and financial data, to journalist-requested content graphics like animated quote cards, map graphics, and data-driven infographics.

​

Despite serving different purposes, every format lives within the same visual language, held together by a unified colour treatment and font choice. A motion toolkit was also built to support the graphics team, giving them ready-made templates to respond to journalist briefs efficiently without starting from scratch.

 

I was responsible for the full visual direction and development of the title sequence, motion graphics package, motion toolkit, and broadcast set graphics.​​
