Our Work
We're most proud of work that required real thinking before the first design decision was made, where understanding the brief wasn't enough, and getting to something great meant getting to know the people behind it. Here's a selection of what that looks like in practice.
Every project starts with a problem worth solving.
Transforming a Cultural Celebration into a Luxury Experience
CREATIVE DIRECTION & GRAPHIC DESIGNThe Ritz-Carlton came to us with an ambitious goal: establish themselves as Hawaii's premier luxury experience for Lunar New Year, setting a standard that went beyond traditional hotel offerings and created something guests would seek out specifically. We developed an overarching creative platform and distinct visual identity for the campaign, then shaped how that idea came to life across activations, events, and marketing. The result was a cohesive experience that felt both culturally resonant and unmistakably luxury.
Reporting with Purpose
CREATIVE DIRECTION & GRAPHIC DESIGNInstead of leading with a compliance document, First Hawaiian Bank chose to go with something that genuinely reflected their values and their relationship with the community they serve. We designed this publication with the intention of balancing corporate credibility with warmth. A design meant to be read and not just filed.
A Brand for a New Honolulu Icon
BRANDING & MARKETINGMuse Honolulu was entering a competitive luxury condominium market in Ala Moana with something to prove. The challenge wasn't just standing out, but staking a claim as a new kind of urban living in Honolulu. We built the brand from the ground up: identity, positioning, and the visual language that would carry it from sales gallery to launch.
Reimagining a Legacy for the Next Generation
FRONT-END WEBSITE DESIGNPalama Settlement has served the Kalihi-Palama community since 1896, but their digital presence didn't reflect the depth of that legacy or the ambition of where they were headed. We redesigned their website to honor the history, clarify the mission, and give a new generation of supporters and community members a place to connect.
Banking Made Human: Marcus Mariota x FHB
SOCIAL MEDIA CAMPAIGNFirst Hawaiian Bank wanted to reach a younger, more diverse audience without losing the trust they'd built over generations. Partnering with Marcus Mariota gave them a way in, but only if it felt genuinely local. We developed a social campaign that leaned into personality, humor, and cultural authenticity to make it land.
