Born & Raised on Kauaʻi
Trysen Kaneshige, is a Kauaʻi-born artist with deep community roots, recognized by multiple mayors for his contributions. We bring local authenticity to every project while thinking globally about where Hawaiʻi’s creative talent can go.
Cultural Storytelling at the Core
We honor Hawaiʻi’s stories, environment, and community values in every design. This is art that connects with people because it comes from the place we call home.From large-scale murals to apparel lines to intellectual property brands like Island Guardians, we’ve built a multi-layered creative ecosystem that’s ready to scale while keeping its heart in Hawaiʻi.
Let’s create something that inspires Hawai‘i and the world. We’re more than a creative studio, we’re building a movement for Hawaiʻi’s creatives to be valued, seen, and paid what they’re worth.
