STICKERS

OUR STORY

This special project first started in mid-2023 as a project for Kamanaʻo’s 6th grade Pop-Up Mākeke. To share his love for chess and Hawaiian history, Kamanaʻo and his partner designed stickers incorporating various symbols of Hawaiian culture, from both the past and present. The stickers were incredibly popular—within two hours they were sold out. When Kamanaʻo’s stickers were posted on his mom’s social media, many were interested in buying them. Subsequently, more stickers were made for everyone to enjoy.

Kamanaʻo is a part-time junior intern at Stacey Leong Design. He is currently a rising 7th grader at Kamehameha Schools Kapālama. Working on this project not only provides him an opportunity to develop his graphic design skills, but also helps him to learn about the key aspects of entrepreneurship including profit margins, marketing, and customer service.

Ali is a summer intern at Stacey Leong Design and rising junior at Punahou School. Working on this project with Kamanaʻo allows her to learn more about marketing strategies, e-commerce, and web design. Furthermore, this experience provides her an opportunity to expand her copywriting and leadership skills.
