Meet Nicole Makaʻāhinaʻālohilohi Jack (Maka), the artist and creator behind the Pili Nā Moku logo. 😎 🤎
Maka is a Native Hawaiian multimedia artist based in Kapahulu, Oʻahu, whose work reflects a deep connection to ʻike kupuna, culture, and the natural world. From large-scale murals across Hawaiʻi to carving with natural materials and commissioned graphic design work, her artistry carries both ʻike and intention.
Drawing inspiration from her background in Pacific Islands Studies focused on Arts and Culture, as well as her work in environmental conservation, Maka’s creative vision honors the indigenous genius of her ancestors while bringing contemporary Native Hawaiian storytelling to life.
🌺 Mahalo nui to Maka for sharing her talent, creativity, and manaʻo through the Pili Nā Moku logo. We are honored to carry forward a design rooted in culture, connection, and aloha. 🤙🏽
