I value local businesses, so it is really gutwrenching to see all the AI flyers out there. These flyers do not know how to engage an audience - they bombard the viewer with information without hierarchy and it’s just too overwhelming. They use the same details and it’s just so boring.

I get it. Budgets are tight. But honestly, I prefer a homemade flyer. At least I know there’s some personal effort behind it.

All the .ai ads plastered all over facebook really let me gut-wrenched.

Just so you know, your ad looks like everyone else's. How are we supposed to understand you as a business?

Great pleasure to work with on their new logo!

We see a lot of the Big Island’s shape in local logos, mostly as an add-on or simply as a border. It IS possible to use the shape in integrated and cohesive ways. In this logo, it just made sense; the flagstone tile forms the negative space which is the Big island, featuring both subject and locale in a simple a clear manner, without being boring or expected.
Depending on its color application, different looks occur: ocean (blue), white (stone), or black (lava rock).

Stay Able is a new Big Island nonprofit that is here to support our caregiver community. Sarah Riznyk, its founder, has a 30-year background of caregiving and nursing experience, from an Organ Procurement and Transplant Coordinator to Private Caregiver.

With Stay Able, she aims to build a respite for our island caregivers, a safe community for mental recharging as well as support and continued education.

The logo is meant to reflect this safe space, a welcoming environment that is grounded in, and inspire by nature.

Beauty comes in scents too, like this special collaboration natural soap by and

Beautiful products need beautiful packaging. In Kona, Inspiration is all around, through all the scents.

The soap name and box design were inspired by Hawaii’s pau hana, that special time of day when people share each others company, enjoy a productive work day, and soak in our unbeatable sunsets.

Lather up and breathe it in.

Awhile back, I designed these soap wraps for local coffee shop using their brand illustrations. The packaging switched to boxes, but stayed consistent with the original design. These types of digital mockups (not ai) help clients visualize the final product, which as you can see are very close.

This project was a collaboration between and - they created awesome scents that evoke flavors on their menu: mamaki mint, latte, honey, & coffee cherry reflected by the color palette. Be sure to have a look next time you stop in!

Your message is important.
Create more engagement with a more cohesive approach:

1. Singular attention (photo)
2. Create order of visual engagement (photo > main message > secondary message > details)
3. Added compliments (color scheme reinforces the main element)

Need help? Msg me. I’m now also offering packaged rates for ongoing services.

It’s always fun to stop and see clients! Kerry’s shop - Crown Flower - is the perfect stop. There’s always some fun discovery, from her textiles and to local vendor offerings and clothing in the back. Highly recommended ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
