HI || SD || NY

Hi, I’m Jennifer! In 2007, I first left my home, Maui, for San Diego. I attended the University of San Diego, where I received my BA in Visual Arts, emphasizing in Visual Communications and Minor in Business Administration in 2011. The transition to the “mainland” provided me experiences that allowed me to form my cultural and artistic identity.

San Diego became my home away from home, but I decided to take a chance and move to New York City.  I am currently studying at Parsons The New School for Design in the MFA Design & Technology program. Not only am I adjusting to the “Big City,” but also learning how to think about and integrate technology into design.

Half an ocean, and a whole continent away from home, I am constantly looking for ways to integrate my familial, cultural, and personal values into my work.  I am detail oriented, putting lots of thought into the concept and process when doing my work.

This website gives you a glimpse into my past and present. Who really knows about the future. My goal is to share what I see and do as I am go through the process of finding a balance between myself and my new community.
