Proof of Reach

Before Inspire To Create Media became an international studio, these early moments proved that creativity from Kaua‘i could travel far beyond the islands.

They were small but meaningful signs that heart-driven design and storytelling resonate universally from local roots to global stages.

SZA -Cultural Recognition (2017)

Recording artist SZA followed my design page during my early Tkay2 Designs era.

A reminder that authentic creativity speaks for itself even from a small island studio.

Soulection Design Feature (2017)

Global creative collective Soulection featured my design on their official Instagram, reaching nearly 2,000 organic likes.

This collaboration became my first international feature, proof that my lettering designs connected with global creative culture.

After those first moments of reach, the next proof came from impact. Seeing my designs come to life through real projects, real artists, and real recognition here in Hawai‘i.

These collaborations showed that the vision could hold its own, not just on screens, but in culture.

Keilana - Cover Art Collaboration (2019)

Designed cover artwork for O‘ahu-based singer/songwriter Keilana, whose soulful sound and story inspired a visual identity rooted in warmth and emotion.

The project later became part of her Nā Hōkū Hanohano Award-winning journey a full-circle moment.
