Operating out of our home in Mangere, we are a home business that makes handcrafted wooden keepsakes designed to celebrate Pacific Heritage and commemorate milestones. We make everything in house, from small pieces like earrings, keychains, and pins to bigger pieces like custom 21st keys, retirement plaques, and frames. For the community, the culture, and always open to collaboration and service swapping.

Proud Sāmoan from the villages of Nofoali'i, Leulumoega-Tuai, and Matautu-Tai. The name of my business Moaula Tribe comes from my father's village in Sāmoa, Matautu-Tai. Moaula is the name of our village guardian.
