The
history.
—

While hunting for a freelance name that wasn’t just me, I came across an article about Lomi Lomi—an ancient Hawaiian practice of healing through creative hands.

It felt like the perfect symbol for how I approach design: craft, care, and creativity that makes a real impact. That’s how Lomi Lomi Design was born.

I’ve grown with the ever-changing landscape of design and technology—from the early days of print and branding, through the rise of digital and UX, and now into the world of AI-powered product design. That evolution has shaped me into a designer who can adapt, prototype fast, and make things real.

From global brands to start-ups, I help teams bring ideas to life and turn them into something that shines. Along the way, I’ve built lasting client relationships that continue to grow and evolve.

My
values.
—

 

It’s not all
about us.
—

All ideas, even the wild ones, will be listened to without criticism. Working together will be enjoyable and lively, in a warm and friendly manner. Friendships might even develop. Knowledge will be exchanged, but experts will be brought in when necessary to achieve the best outcomes.

Collaboration
is the golden ticket.
—

We’ve all sat in those meetings where one voice takes over: “Do this, not like that. The client wants it this way.”
It’s dull. And worse — it kills ideas.

My approach flips that. Collaboration is where the magic happens. Everyone gets space to contribute, because creativity often sparks from the most unexpected places.

Creating our
own culture.
—

One size never fits all. Everyone brings unique backgrounds, beliefs, likes, and dislikes — and that should be celebrated.

Culture isn’t a poster on the wall; it’s in the small things. A simple hello. A genuine how are you?. Remembering that “please” and “thank you” matter.

It’s also about balance. Prioritising well-being, flexibility, and understanding that life happens. When people feel seen and supported, the work — and the team — thrives.
