I’m a product designer and art director based in Hawai’i.
I’ve been a painter, a mom and cake artist, but always a designer. I studied and worked in San Francisco, starting in book publishing and currently swimming in the world of crypto. I often find myself in start ups. I love the culture of it, I love starting new things. Sometimes I’ll dip into corporate projects but I always come back to small teams with big ambitions.
