Paul Rangiwahia is a renowned mental wellbeing advocate and artist who uses creativity as a tool to break down stigma around mental health and normalise the emotional ups and downs we all experience. Through his art, public speaking, and innovative resources, Paul encourages open, honest conversations and empowers people to take proactive steps toward emotional wellbeing.

He regularly advises and speaks to businesses, government agencies, schools, and community organisations across Aotearoa. His work features in public spaces, schools, libraries, and health centres, and he’s involved in numerous regional and national initiatives that promote mental health, particularly in rural and youth communities.

When Paul first approached Graphix, he was already a well-known name in Taranaki, but he didn’t yet have a personal brand to reflect the depth of his message and work. We began with a free branding brainstorm session that explored his lived experiences and deep understanding of mental health. From there, we created a vibrant, meaningful logo that reflected Paul’s optimistic and authentic personality. This branding was rolled out across printed materials, social media, and his website.

Since then, we’ve supported Paul in producing and reproducing his inspiring artworks thousands of times—on canvas prints, framed posters, notebooks, journals, and more—available through his website, welliam.co.nz. As his profile has grown through speaking engagements, commissioned work, and the success of tools like the “Mental Warrant of Fitness” and “The Spring Clean,” we’ve helped ensure consistency of quality and colour across all media.

Graphix is proud to have supported Paul’s installations and projects with organisations including WITT Te Pūkenga, New Plymouth District Council, Rural Support Trust, Building Wellness, Francis Douglas Memorial College, Fitzroy School, Carefirst, Puke Ariki Library, and South Taranaki District Council.

Paul’s mission is clear: to make mental wellbeing approachable, visible, and something everyone can relate to. Through his art and advocacy, he continues to uplift communities and inspire change across the motu.
