Where local businesses from Hawaiʻi find their voice and identity.

I specialize in crafting visual stories that resonate with our community, and our culture that is Hawaiʻi.

From logos to comprehensive brand identity kits, I provide a range of services designed to elevate your brand and connect with your audience. My approach is hands-on, collaborative, and always centered on your business needs.

Meet the Designer

Born and raised on Maui, Hawaiʻi, I have always been passionate about providing our people with a platform to authentically represent themselves. Fueled by an interest for design and a deep commitment to our community's cultures and values, I established Kawailiʻulā Designs to uplift and assist the people of Hawaiʻi.

It’s time for our brand stories to be crafted by our own voices, and I would be honored to serve as that voice for your business. Working with Kawailiʻulā Designs goes beyond a mere branding project—it signifies a collaboration rooted in passion, intent, and a love for meaningful design.

I am passionate about tailoring my designs to our community and, more deeply, to Native Hawaiian culture. While I'm not claiming to be an expert in perfectly translating what this looks like, I am committed as a designer to exploring what culture and design could represent today. This responsibility is something I hold close to my heart with every client project, striving to give both you and your business a platform to shine.

Culture and Community First Mindset

What I Stand For

Intentional Design

I believe design is about communication and visual problem solving. At Kawaili'ulā Designs, it's about more than aesthetics; it's about capturing the essence of your brand and weaving a visual story that deeply resonates with your audience. I delve into your business goals and values, understanding your target audience to create a brand identity that's not only visually striking but truly meaningful and engaging.

Honest and Understanding Experience

I am committed to ensuring that my clients feel they can openly communicate their concerns from the start. Throughout our journey, I will foster a safe space for business owners to feel comfortable asking questions at any point—and even after our project concludes. I treat every project with dedication, hoping to provide all the guidance and information you need to feel empowered in branding yourself for years to come.
