Meet our team
Shaye Boddington
Company Director
Tiny house obsessed, Shaye's days usually revolve around designing tiny's, discussing tiny's, building tiny's, and keeping the team guessing what her next crazy idea will be!
Sheila Boddington
Business Manager
Team mother hen. Sheila is the glue that holds the workshop together. Patient, caring, perplexed by all the different names for slops, thongs and jandals. Can't cook (not even boiled eggs).
Noel Boddington
Workshop Manager
Noel loves a beveragino or ten. Jandal/footwear enthusiast. Forklift certified. Self appointed family cook... it was a life or death appointment.
Sarah Daly
Account Manager
Brightest smile and brightest outfits. Cool, calm and collected. Company confidant and guardian of personal information. Sarah loves creating impossible passwords.
Sharla May
Client Liaison Manager
Jack of all trades, master of none. Tea connoisseur, tiny house obsessed, likes to complain about bright car headlights. Sharla is usually found dancing with her two dogs after consuming wine.

Photographer
Photographer, storyteller and colour lover. Inspired by diverse cultures, mother earth and peoples unique stories. Lara is also Shaye's older sister and first ever friend.
Dan Forgesson
Kaiwaka Site - Manager
Known as Dan the Man in the workshop, or Danimal at our Christmas parties. Dan suffers from hyperactive disorder when it comes to building tiny houses, his record is seven in one year!
Emma Kahi
Kaiwaka Admin
Self confessed Excel nerd. Fuelled by coffee, sustained by wine. Collector of pesky but "lucky they are cute" children. Emma dreams of building and hosting an Airbnb tiny house in magical Mangawhai one day.
Dylan Quayle
Henderson Site - Builder
My Food Bag chef whose smoko meals highlight Sheila and Shaye’s questionable culinary skills. Dylan is at risk of being adopted by Noel.
John Parsons
Henderson Site - Builder
Long time builder. When he's not building tiny homes you’ll find John surfing or golfing. Dog lover and father of two, no job too big or tiny.
Jetzy Bombaclaad
Henderson Site - Builder
Helping hand around the workshop, always a friendly smile. Jet is a real life example of a good human.
Sione Paeaia
Tiler
Born and raised in the beautiful island of Samoa, Sione now calls NZ home. A family man who wins the biggest smile award. Contagious laugh and one of the best humans around. Big hearted, hardworking and a bloody awesome tiler.
Tristan Melling
Henderson Site - Builder
Born and raised at Te Henga, the black sand is in his blood, in his hair, ears and bed (or so we've heard!). Tristan loves surfing and building tiny homes. Closet pigeon fancier. May or may not enjoy the company of plants more than people.
Zach Millar
Henderson Site - Builder
Laid back, no probs, can do man. Loves a good joke. Zach is almost as good with his fishing rod as his building tools. Provider of the best tuna steaks on the planet at smoko BBQ's.
Tristan Dyer
Electrician
Longest lasting lighting expert! Tristan has been with the company since the days of Lucy. Loyalty personified. Lights up our homes.
Cabinetry
Jake is a clever cookie at furniture making. He also thinks his wife is the best thing since sliced bread...his wife definitely didn’t write this…
Cabinetry
Lives, sleeps, breathes, fits out, blogs everything tiny houses. Kasia also likes to create plant products as an excuse to buy more plants, and her phone doesn’t recognise her fingerprint because she is too vigorous with sandpaper.
