Volcano (2019 BFA Thesis Exhibit)
An exploration into packaging, product, and environment design, Volcano is a gift shop intended to share the Aloha Spirit by celebrating the positivity and vibrance of Hawaiian culture: the love for life and for others; a reminder that life is colorful and fun. The products such as fun merchandise and traditional Hawaiian snacks are intended to be shared or collected as a means of cherishing these little pieces of Hawai’i. 100% of profits will be donated to the Hawai’i Arts Alliance, a nonprofit dedicated to empowering young artists to celebrate and preserve Hawaiian culture, by providing comprehensive education in art and design. The Hawai’i Arts Alliance helps to provide necessary tools and resources to assist learning, activate new ideas, and build literacy in the arts.
