About Me
Born and raised in ʻAiea, O’ahu, I am a Native Hawaiian illustrator, contemporary artist, and graphic designer based both in Hawaiʻi and the Oxford, UK.
Hawaiian culture and aloha ‘āina (love of the land) are at the center of my art practice, and I always strive to use my technical skills in visual communication to uplift indigenous and vulnerable communities as well as global sustainability efforts.
Aside from my own freelance work, myself and Alex Wickson are founders of Studio Puluma, a community-centered creative arts organization. Through Studio Puluma, we have provided opportunities for cultural learning and self-exploration through artistic endeavors to the London kaiāulu.
To learn more about Studio Puluma, visit our website https://www.studiopuluma.com/ and follow us on social media (@studiopuluma).
I’m always looking for opportunities to connect, so feel free to reach out to me! Mahalo nui.
