Ocean Resources Management Plan Update
Together with the PBR HAWAII team and the Office of Planning and Sustainable Development, the Ocean Resources Management Plan (ORMP) was designed and developed with an emphasis on Traditional Ecological Knowledge (TEK). Throughout the design process, great respect was shown and given to the relationship between Native Hawaiian practitioners and the resources they care for by acknowledging that TEK is the product of many generations passing on their accumulated experience and knowledge. ACCOLADES The Hawai'i Ocean Resources Management Plan 2020 2021 APA Hawai'i Chapter - Environmental Planning See MoreStatewide Comprehensive Outdoor Recreation Plan
The Statewide Outdoor Recreation Plan (SCORP) is updated every 5 years to assess Hawai'i's outdoor recreation trends, needs, and priorities. The plan also provides direction for the State's recreational future and allows Hawa'ʻi to remain eligible to receive funds for outdoor recreation projects through the Land and Water Conservation Fund (LWCF), a federal grants program administered by the National Park Service. SCORP offers a timely opportunity to re-evaluate Hawai'i's recreational needs and trends of statewide importance. With the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, increased participation in outdoor recreation, and local climate impacts, many of our outdoor recreation places and resources are undergoing significant changes. The SCORP seeks to align Hawai'i's recreational priorities with actions to preserve and provide high-quality outdoor recreation opportunities in Hawai'i in all it's holding environments; the sky, the land, and the sea.See MoreHawai'i Adaptive Surfing Championship
Annually, the Hawai'i Adaptive Surfing Championship (HASC) hosts 70+ adaptive athletes of all ages from over 14 countries in Waikiki. AccesSurf builds an inclusive community that empowers people with disabilities through accessible beach and water programs. AccesSurf continues to be a pioneer in the advancement of adaptive water sports, ocean recreation, and therapeutic instruction for people with disabilities throughout the state of Hawai'i and worldwide. Previous to 2018, no branding or identity had ever been created for the event. Working closely with the AccesSurf team, we designed and developed the identity of the HASC to be bold, clean, and simple while honoring surfing's Native Hawaiian roots. I also have been involved with designing the event posters and promotional materials for the HASC and its Party Wave fundraiser since 2018.See MoreWork History
