Business Owner
Kea Peters
Kākou Collective is the studio of Native Hawaiian mother and artist, Kea Peters. Born and raised in ʻEwa Beach on the island of Oʻahu, she graduated from the Kamehameha Schools Kapālama in 2007.
Kea (a former freelance graphic artist) has been part of the local design industry in Hawaiʻi since 2010 and shortly after received her AA in Communication Arts from Honolulu Community College in 2012.
She started off as an in-house graphic designer for several local businesses, and soon branched off to create Kakou Collective in 2017 - a service-based business providing graphic design services to locally owned and operated businesses in Hawaiʻi.
After having her son in 2019, Kea pivoted her business and started creating planner products incorporating her original artwork made in her home studio.
