Other work... Feature writing and books
In my life before advertising, I was an associate editor for HONOLULU Magazine, a city regional publication. I’ve also done freelance writing for healthcare, travel and business publications. And I’ve written a children’s book, Mele Bear, Hauoli Bear and My Grandmother’s Mango Tree, created to complement an existing line of plush merchandise.
I wrote and co-art directed this book. It tells the story of a little girl growing up in Hawai‘i, where everyone knows that next to Christmas, the best time of the year is mango season.
What’s it like to live in a place where it rains a lot? It gives you time to discover its charms, as is the case in Hilo, Hawai‘i. This feature story appeared in Spirit of Aloha, the Aloha Airlines inflight magazine, March/April 2001.
