Curating and designing meaningful ways for families across the Bay of Plenty and Waikato to bring their photographs and memories into the home.

Kinstate was created from a love of home, family, and the quiet beauty of everyday life.I’m Deearn Strawbridge, and I hold an Honours degree in Visual Arts. My background in art has shaped the way I see composition, balance, and the emotional impact of visual spaces. Alongside this, my experience in photography has given me a deep appreciation for the moments that make up a family’s story.Like many families, I know how easily photographs can become lost in phones and forgotten over time. Kinstate was born from a desire to change that. To thoughtfully curate and bring those memories back into the home as beautiful gallery walls, where they can be seen, shared, and lived with every day.Each project is approached with care and intention, creating spaces that feel personal, meaningful, and connected to the people who live there.


Today, most family photographs live on phones and hard drives, rarely seen or shared.Thousands of meaningful moments are captured, but very few ever find a place in the home.Kinstate helps families thoughtfully curate their photographs and transform them into beautiful gallery walls within the home.Through careful photo selection, design, and guidance, we help bring your family's story out of digital storage and into the spaces where life is lived every day.
