PONO DESIGN STUDIO

Pono was founded on the idea that design can be used for good. As designers, we use visual storytelling to bring brands to life. As people, we donate design to non-profit organizations making a positive impact on the world we live in... IT'S ORIGINS: Pono is a Hawaiian word and generally translates to "righteousness," but it's more than a word-it's a way of life. To "live pono" is to live with balance and to consciously and morally do right by yourself, by others, and by the world. This is what the Pono Design Studio strives to live by every day, in every project... Pono is a graphic design studio founded by Lauren Okura and Paul Maeda. Having worked together since 2012, they took their experience and built a solution where designers and clients form a true collaborative partnership involving a nimble and intuitive process that supports new startups to seasoned marketing teams.
