Hawaii Poke & Asian Express is a franchised fast casual restaurant with a popular location in Corpus Christi, Texas. In partnership with co-designer Hameen Reynolds, we completely reimagined the brand as Kahua Pacific Kitchen; conceptually focused on integrating Japanese and Hawaiian cultural design influences in a way that was accessible, exciting, and inviting to a South Texan audience.

While all major design decisions were made in a partnership, I designed the brand’s logo and pattern, digital menu screens, environmental graphics, and applied potential to-go designs. All work displayed on this site are deliverables I largely designed.
