About Kina'ole Design

My passion for art inspires me to create unique, handcrafted jewelry and home decor that celebrates individuality and enhances everyday beauty. As a middle school art teacher, artist, mother, grandmother, wife, and gardener, I embrace creativity in all I do.

So what does Kina’ole mean and why does a Hawaiian word have such significance to this Idaho native?

Kina’ole (Kina rhymes with Gina and ole sounds Spanish). It means “Doing the right thing at the right time, for the right reason the right way, for the right person– the first time.” My brother lived in Hawaii for many years and means the world to me, hence the Hawaiian name.

​Peace,
