About Us

How I Started

Welcome to Highness, a cultural odyssey and a tribute to the Hawaiian people. My journey began in the heart of Kalihi, Honolulu, in 2020. From the confines of a small apartment, my dream for my clothing brand took flight— an expression of Hawaiian heritage, artistry, and unity.

In just one month of opening on my website, Highness transcended to doing our very first pop-up events and it became a testament to the rapid growth and the community's overwhelming support. Fuelled by passion and a profound love for our heritage. With a degree in Graphic Design shaping my vision, I use my skills not just to create visually appealing designs but I spent sleepless nights teaching myself how to build this entire brand from the ground up all by myself. 

What Is Highness?

Highness is more than just a clothing brand; it's a canvas where Hawaiian artistry meets heartfelt advocacy. As a proud Hawaiian artist, I pour my creativity into every design, meticulously curating clothing that embodies the essence of Hawaii's rich culture. From designs to branding, and even social media, every element is infused with my personal touch.

Highness's Mission

At the core of Highness lies a deep-seated mission: to educate, create awareness, and bridge the gap between Hawaiians and the diaspora. My designs are meant to open conversations. Highness is a platform where voices echo, stories unfold, and understanding blossoms. I strive to reconnect diaspora Hawaiians to their roots, offering a path back to their culture. Highness becomes a guiding light, a space where every individual, regardless of their location, can find solace in their identity as proud Hawaiians. We champion the cause of unity, understanding, and mutual respect, illuminating the common ground that unites us all.

Join the Highness Movement

Highness is a movement—a celebration of Hawaiian pride, an exploration of identity, and a testament to the enduring spirit of our people. We invite you to join us in this extraordinary journey of self-discovery, cultural appreciation, and mutual upliftment. Together, let's honor our past, celebrate our present, and perpetuate our royal heritage.

Mahalo nui loa for being part of Highness, where culture, creativity, and community converge to create a legacy of pride and understanding.
