About
We are a new kind of hermit
The name New Hermits is rooted in the belief that solitude can lead to clarity, creativity, and a deeper understanding of ourselves and the world around us. In quiet moments, great ideas take shape, and meaningful stories begin to reveal themselves.
Living in New Zealand, surrounded by nature, distance, and stillness, often feels like living as a modern-day hermit. But this solitude isn’t about isolation; it’s about observation and exploration. It creates the space to notice details, reflect with intention, and see places, people, and stories with fresh eyes.
In that sense, a “new hermit” is not someone who withdraws from the world, but someone who observes it more carefully. Open to all backgrounds and ambitions, the brand celebrates thoughtful creativity and the belief that every place, person, and moment carries a story worth telling.
About Thaíz Lara
Meet Thaíz Lara, the heart behind New Hermits.
Thaíz is pronounced as ”tah-EEZ” (/taˈIZ/): “Ta” like in “tattoo” and “EEZ” like the verb “is”. But don’t worry if you forget; she’s happy to go by her last name, Lara!
Originally from Brazil and now based in New Zealand, Lara brings a unique perspective of the world. During her journey across the world, she's developed a strong foundation in content creation, marketing, photography, video production, and design; all of which now weave together in this brand.
A fun fact? She's also a helicopter pilot. When she says it’s important to see the world from new perspectives… Well, she truly means it!
What fuels her work is helping individuals and brands stand out (not just with style, but with soul). Great visuals and thoughtful words can tell stories that stay with us.
