About

My Native Hawaiian culture inspires me every day. As a proud hapa born, raised, and living in Southern California, I am always finding ways to stay connected to Hawaiʻi. Some of my happiest days are spent on the North Shore of Oahʻu talking story with my aunties, uncles, and cousins; eating shave ice; lazing it up on my favorite beaches; and soaking in every bit of knowledge I can about my heritage, from learning our history to practicing ʻōlelo Hawaiʻi.

I have always loved creating things with my hands, and finally came to the conclusion that creating Hawaiian-inspired products to share with others is what makes me happy. I combine meaning and beauty in each creation. Everything I sell is hand-drawn and/or handmade.

Whenever possible, I use eco-friendly products; our ʻāina, whether in Hawaiʻi or elsewhere, should be treated with respect, and I do my best to do just that.

When I’m not creating, I'm dancing with my hula sistahs, spending time with my ʻohana at home in California, and cuddling my dogs.
