Aloha,
Growing up with a deep love for art and Japanese manga, Koi has always been drawn to capturing emotion through delicate lines and colors. Inspired by the natural beauty and joyful spirit of Hawai‘i, she found her calling in live illustration — combining her lifelong dream of creating art with the heartfelt mission of capturing people’s most meaningful moments with love.
My Story
From a young age, I was captivated by the world of art and Japanese manga — spending countless hours sketching characters and scenes that spoke from the heart. Art became my way of seeing the world, of capturing beauty in both the ordinary and the magical.
​
After moving to Hawai‘i, I found endless inspiration in the islands’ breathtaking landscapes, gentle light, and vibrant culture. Between hikes through lush trails, discovering hidden beaches, and photographing local cafés and sunsets, my creative spirit flourished. Surrounded by so much beauty, I realized I wanted to share that same feeling of wonder through my art.
​
I now share my life with my tiny travel companion — a tea-cup chihuahua who has journeyed the world by my side. Additionally, a fluffy lion-head mix bunny who made me a proud bunny mom. With a love for all things cute and whimsical, my art reflects the joy, warmth, and charm that fill my everyday life.
