Rod Hanna and his wife Mary purchased Designers' Collection six years ago. Rod has a marketing background having worked with some of New Zealand's leading brands such as Steinlager, All Blacks, Tegel, Griffins and Team New Zealand.
Rod has always enjoyed product development whether working
with industrial designers on a new bottle shape for Steinlager or
food technologists developing the worlds first chicken bacon, the
challenge of creating aesthetic appeal and functional performance
is an exciting one. Rod has a passion for New Zealand design
and enjoys working with skilled and experienced craftspeople to
bring his designs to life. When Rod is not leading the team at
Designers' Collection, he can be found tearing around after his two
sons Max & Rhys.
