About

Aloha!​

My name is Taylie Kawakami and I'm originally from Maui, Hawai'i. After being born and raised in the islands I decided to take a big leap post high school and move all the way to the East Coast for college. At Northeastern University I work as the design chair for the Council for University Programs and am currently working to receive my BA in Communication Studies and Graphic and Information Design.

​

My love for art began in childhood as I spent my weekends painting along side my grandfather. This love only continued to grow over time. 

​

Much of my work is inspired by my home in Hawai'i and my Japanese heritage. In my free time I love cooking and going for runs.
