I provided the art direction and asset development for the National Tropical Botanical Garden's 2023-2027 Strategic Plan. I incorporated lei, created by staff and community members with cherished plants from our botanic gardens, to embody the plan's five strategic priorities. Behind each lei is the story of the person who made it, the place they gathered from, and the plants they weave together. Each lei articulates the essence of the corresponding strategic priority through the intertwining of these meanings and stories.
