Samantha McGavock | Ngāi Tahu | Kaihautū | Director.
Ko Te Upoko o Tahumata te maunga.
Ko Okana te awa.

Ko Ngāi Tahu te iwi.
Ko Ngāti Irakehu te hapū.
Ko Wairewa te marae.
I whānau mai ahau ki Rotorua, ā, i tipu ake au i reira.
Kei Tāmaki Makaurau au e noho ana, kei te taha o taku hoa rangatira, a Blair, me ā māua tama tokorua, a Max rāua ko Milo.
Ko Done te ingoa o tāku pakihi.
Kei te mahi māua ki te tautoko i te oranga o te taiao, me te oranga o ngā tāngata o Aotearoa.
Ko Samantha McGavock ahau.
Through her whakapapa, Sam recognises that we are deeply connected to the environment rather than separate from it, and she operates in unwavering alignment with this notion. ‘Ko au te taiao, te taiao ko au’.
Sam holds a Masters of Architecture and is both a Regenerative Practitioner and Living Futures Accredited Professional who is immersed in Te Ao Māori. She utilises these perspectives to manage projects which emphasise the interconnectedness of living systems and the continued regeneration of those systems for the benefit of both people and place.
Sam is the founder and Kaihautū (Director) of Done. As a Regenerative Project Manager, she leads the Done team and works alongside clients, project teams, communities, iwi, hapū and marae to deliver transformational projects.
In addition to project work, Sam enjoys roles which expand her horizons and allow her to contribute to industry capacity building more broadly, such as by co-facilitating a professional accreditation course with the Living Future Institute of Australia and as an Auckland Urban Design Panel member.
