Leo Liu

Leo joined Moda in 2015 as an owner, driven by a love for challenge and diversity. After selling the business, he stayed on as General Manager, continuing to lead with the same passion and commitment. “I believe that I have become a better man through my efforts, failures and successes.”

As Sales and Marketing Director, Rebecca brings a passion for design, family living, and customer connection to every part of her role. After relocating with her husband Amos and their three children to be closer to family, Rebecca opened Moda’s Northland showroom, right near the farm where she spent her own childhood holidays, by the beautiful Kai Iwi Lakes.

Rebecca has hands-on experience with renovating character homes, having transformed both a bungalow and a villa in Auckland. Most recently, she completed the design and build of her own coastal family home in Langs Beach, giving her a strong appreciation for practical yet beautiful spaces.

Clients love working with Rebecca throughout the kitchen and cabinetry design process, especially her thoughtful follow-up after installation. As a mum of three, she understands what busy families need, whether it’s functional kitchen layouts, smart storage, or durable finishes that still feel warm and inviting.

Rebecca is currently completing a Diploma in Kitchen Design and regularly attends industry events, staying across the latest materials, trends, and innovations. When she’s not helping clients bring their dream spaces to life, she’s adventuring with her family, camping, fishing, travelling, or baking with the kids in the kitchen.

Krishna Anderson

Sales & Design

Living and traveling around Europe for 12 years has opened my eyes to different cultures, their cuisine and having to live with different kitchens to suit each countries lifestyle and the way they prepare and cook food. I love design. I know the importance a beautiful yet functional kitchen can make in your home. As a mother of 6 kids, our kitchen is definitely the heart of our home, it is where we gather as a family every night, it is where we gather with friends, where we share a meal together and create wonderful memories.

Ela comes from an architecture background and believes kitchens are the heart of the home. Ten years ago, she moved from Tehran to Auckland to start a new life. Ela transitioned into the kitchen design & sales five years ago. She found what she does satisfies her heart, so she expanded her experience by studying NKBA modules.

Therefore, she conceptualizes kitchens that are fully-functional working environments for her exclusive clients.
