Kaiao: The time before the sun peeks above the horizon, skies are lit with morning colors, air crisp, and the day is new. It was at this time of dawn that my grandma wrote her best compositions. As an extraordinary Hawaiian steeped in the practices of Hula, she was aware of her own creative processes, as well as the strokes of geniuses that seem to be floating in the morning sky, searching for that able vehicle. Knowing about my grandma and her favorite time of morning has always inspired me to identify and refine my pursuit for creativity, as well as to provide the space for other creatives to do the same.
Space: Inspired by being raised in the back of a craft fair tent with a jar of LEGO, the opportunity of time and space, to tinker with each possibility, to create something new or something seen in my imagination. Like the Japanese concept of Yutori, we honor that idea of creating space for growth, encouraging conversation, collaboration and iteration. "Kaiao_Space / Smith St." is that space featuring specialty projects from our Design Studio and the collaboration with like-minded creatives.
