Kanoe/kah-noy


-
Hawaiian origin, meaning the mist

My name is Kanoe and I am a Digital Designer based in Colorado with a passion for design thinking, beautiful compositions and strong user focused designs.

I have spent over 10 years as a Designer and Photographer collaborating with various marketing and design teams on projects across the digital and printed space.

I am a positive team player and I pride myself on sharp organizational skills, quick turnarounds and thorough communication in order to maintain an efficient workflow.

In my free time, I like to take advantage of the many outdoor opportunities Colorado has to offer such as mountain biking, hiking and yoga. I’m an avid road-tripper (46 states visited and counting!) and artist and I draw creative inspiration from different cultures and countries.
