Personal Branding

For my own brand, I wanted to do something more than just my initials. I felt like making something that would accurately represent me and my background, and immediately I had the idea to name my brand Takashi. Takashi stems from my middle name, being that of Kai-Takashi. Kai meaning “ocean” or “sea” whereas Takashi can translate to “warrior”, “strong”, or “noble”. Ideally, mixing both was the perfect way to design a brand that represents myself. What others may see as a simple wave represents how I usually tackle any type of task involving design. Strongly, and without regret.

The wave is also symbolic of where I’m from as I grew up in Honolulu, Hawaii. I’ve been surrounded by water my whole life and it feels good to showcase it in my work.
