INSPIRATION & TRENDS
These designs interpret urban in a Hawai’ian setting. By using icons of Hawai’ian culture, including the Hawai’ian islands and the Hawai’ian flag, I have designed distressed and appealing looks for the University of Hawai’i customer.

INSPIRATION & TRENDS
The meaning of “tribal” in Hawai’i is symbolic for the people and the culture of the islands. Tribal and ethnic patterns are becoming globally popular as a graphic trend for clothing. My tribal designs use a simple interpretation of the University of Hawai’i’s approved patterns and tattoo prints.

INSPIRATION & TRENDS
Regarding athletics, I was inspired by the Olympic Games. Retro graphics from past Olympic Games inspired me to create sleek graphics for a wide array of customers. My designs incorporate elements of sports and movement. I attempted to make things look dynamic and stylistically active.
