I was born and raised on the Big Island of Hawaii in Hilo as a 4th generation native born in Hawaii. I left the Big Island after high school and went to the mainland for college. Six years ago in July 2005, I left SF (where I had been living and was based professionally for the previous 20+ years) to take care of family affairs. In 2010, I moved back to the SF Bay Area but continue to travel to Hawaii for business.

Professionally, I have a 26 year background in the Branding, Design and Interactive profession, working both on the client side (Apple) in prominent traditional branding agencies (Landor, Fitch, Liquid Agency) and interactive agencies (Studio Archetype, Sapient, iXL). I’ve worked with clients both nationally and internationally.

Six years ago while living back in Hawaii, I met my current Creative Director and we established a boutique brand marketing & design firm called Mana Brand Marketing. We have been blessed to work with clients both in Hawaii and on the Mainland and to serve them in achieving their business goals.
