Aloha mai kākou! My name is Nanea, and I come from the beautiful island of Maui. It fills me with immense pride and happiness to receive this recognition for my design. Being a Native Hawaiian, I deeply appreciate my ancestors and their history, language, and culture, and I am honored to physically embody them. Since the start of my creative journey, it has been my dream to create work that resonates with people, and thanks to your support, that dream has become a reality. If you want to see more of my work, you can connect with me on Instagram @naneaahyou.mov.
