STORYTELLING
All prints shown are original designs, created using custom AI prompts to develop individual motifs and fully developed by me through digital compositing, layout, repeat development and color refinement in Photoshop and Illustrator, and shown on digital mockups.
ARCHAEOLOGIST ON HOLIDAY
An archaeologist on holiday checks into a seaside hotel with one suitcase and a quiet promise to rest. He sets down his field notebook and brushes the sand from his sleeves. In the closet, he hangs five shirts, each one carefully chosen. He wasn’t planning to work - but notes from the dig earlier softly beckons. Before the pull of work takes hold, he chooses a shirt, straightens his collar, splashes water on his face, and heads toward the amber glow of the bar downstairs.
AFTER THE FETE
“After the Fête” is a whimsical conversational print, pearl-strewn, ribbon-tied, slightly tipsy. Designed with a cheeky kind of glamour in mind, using individually generated motifs in Midjourney, then assembling everything in Adobe Photoshop & Illustrator.
CHAIN REACTION
Exploring animal print overlaid with gold chains and leather belts and tassels, evoking a sense of maximalism and whimsical luxury.
THE SECRET STASH
In the back rooms of donation centers, they sort through the endless stream of cast-offs - quick hands, sharp eyes. Most days, it’s the usual: graphic tees, gym socks, the occasional forgotten trend. But once in a while, something stops them and makes them go “wow.” A geo print that looks ahead of its time. A shirt that echoes a memory. A hand-screened gem that deserves a second life. Quietly, instinctively, they set it aside. Over time, these pieces form a collection - personal, unexpected, curated by feel. These are the shirts they keep for themselves.
EVERYDAY KINE HAWAI’I
Everyday Kine Hawaii is inspired by the local icons hiding in plain sight — loud mynah birds, tangled bougainvillea, a shell print dress your aunty wore or a family’s trip to North Shore. Little things we walk past every day. It’s about celebrating the small stuff that quietly defines island life.
