The Story of PoMahina Designs

Kanoelani Davis

Native Hawaiian

Small Business Owner & Creative Designer

​

Davis is a Native Hawaiian woman of Molokai, whose roots extend back for generations. She is a lifelong cultural practitioner and torchbearer for the survival of many Hawaiian art forms. It is her way of life and in many instances, it does not separate from her being. Her dedication to culture, advocacy for cultural awareness, and love for design have been woven together and manifests in the patterns that adorn the wearable art of PōMahina Designs.

​

Kanoelani views PōMahina Designs as an essence imbued with culture, tradition & aloha while being infused in contemporary fashion.
