— I’m a Creative Director, Storyteller and Content Strategist with agency and in-house experience in concept development, leading design teams and production.
Hi! I’m Keahu Kahuanui.
(It looks complicated but it’s pronounced:
“keh-ah-who kah-who-ah-new-ee”)
At the end of the day, the medium and format of a story doesn’t matter as long as the narrative is clear and the story is told. And I am a storyteller.
I spent almost a decade in Hollywood learning and refining the art through various means - not only, but most notably, as a television actor and filmmaker. Working with some of the best artists and craftspeople in the industry, my design skills were developed and cultivated through hands-on experience and incredible mentoring. Applying those lessons to the foundations of my experience in the corporate world, I even branded and marketed my own line of bespoke fine leather goods which eventually became Partikular Inc. Managing all the outgoing art and collateral at Aura Skin Spa, learning to manage project time and incorporate relevant metrics while at YouTube, where my team and I deployed the monetization program and redesigned the partner content management API for the international markets culminated in how I comprehensively approach solving creative problems for brands who need help.
I never let brainstorming grow stagnant. Original, inspiring ideas for content can be tough to conjure if you’re not exploring what’s out there. So, in my free time you can usually find me in search of isolated pockets of nature, tinkering with the newest tech and gadgets, or jumping out of planes - always testing out innovative ways to create.
Whether you're a startup needing a provocative launch plan, an established brand looking for a fresh perspective or a fellow creator who wants to collaborate, I'm always looking to combine forces and hopefully, in the process, make the world a little better than we found it.
