Massive congrats to Leah from Ladeda for winning a Gold Rocketspark Design Award for Kōwhai Therapy for July 2025!

This website exceeds in all the right areas of what makes a beautiful and effective website. It’s oozing with creativity and leaves a lasting impression through thoughtful layout and design choices that reflect the calming and personal nature of the brand.

The use of unique stacked layouts, a mix of handwritten and clean, trust-building typefaces, and a warm, natural colour palette creates a cohesive experience that feels like flipping through the pages of a personal journal. Design elements like taped photo edges, post-it-style notes and textured backgrounds add visual interest while maintaining a clean and consistent structure.

Every section has been carefully crafted to guide visitors with ease, using clear calls to action and a smooth content flow. Despite the rich detail, the site feels simple and approachable.

It also translates beautifully to mobile. The generous spacing and thoughtful layout keep the experience just as engaging, with nothing lost in the shift from desktop.

Well done Leah on a stunning website that blends creativity, usability and brand storytelling so effectively!
