I’m living my dream because of people like you.

Thnx 🥹

My story is different than many designers out there— I didn’t grow up filling school journals with sketches or drawing on anything I could find. I didn’t become a creative until I was filling out the application for OBU, and my Mom told me I should give the graphic design course a try. What’s the harm? I could change it in a semester or two if I didn’t like it. Or, maybe I became a creative when I took my first design class at OBU and fell in love with digital art. I spent countless hours trying to perfect any project I was given. Or, perhaps it was when I landed my first paid job. (Thank you Trinity Baptist Church for believing in me!) Who know’s the when, but the most important part has been the people that helped build me up, poured into me, and shaped me into who I am today. Praise Jesus!

I currently live in Miami, Oklahoma and serve alongside my husband in the student ministry at FBC Miami. I graduated in 2020 with my degree in Graphic Design. I tried a couple of other things in the creative industry, but nothing was ever the right fit.

I’m so passionate about designing things that build up the Kingdom and working alongside others in further advancing the Gospel. This is all ministry, for me.

Let's work together! It'll be fun.

Why the name
“By Kawehi?”

(Kuh-vay-hee. It’s Hawaiian!)

The name originally began as Designs By Kawehi. But I didn’t want to be bound to just “designs”! I love web design, print layout, illustrating, clay earrings, pottery, serigraphy. I want to leave the space open to allow me to keep being creative!

Do you work exclusively w/ churches?

Kingdom work is my favorite kind, whether it’s with a church or not, no matter how big or small. But, I take on different projects with different goals, if the fit feels right.

Want to talk about a project?

I’d love to chat with you! Even if you’re just shopping around or it may be a while before you make a decision.
