About

ALOHA! I’m a Applied Product Lead and Design Strategist based in Honolulu, Hawaiʻi. I build solutions at the intersection of product design, multimedia, and Indigenous practices and values. I believe technology should reflect the communities it serves. That’s not just a value. It’s how I work.
