Through self-initiatives, as well as at the request of some venues/events/fundraisers, various types of merchandise have been created to help promote local drag entertainers and their events.

These pieces have been printed locally, digitally, and internationally, across a variety of mediums.

KEY Project

2022–2023

Kualoa-Heʻeia Ecumenical Youth (KEY) Project serves low-income, at-risk youth in the semi-rural areas of Kāneʻohe to Kahuku, through educational programs and community gatherings. In 2022, a handful of designs were created for KEY Project events and initiatives. All designs were intentionally designed to be able to be easily reprinted onto different colored shirts for future semesters’ distribution, and/or for different types of student/staff roles.

Restaurant Week Hawaii Takeaways

In 2015, the eighth annual Restaurant Week Hawaii marked the groundbreaking of the Culinary Institute of the Pacific at Diamond Head, which was made possible in part by proceeds raised through the event. Commemorative doggy bags were created for, and distributed by participating restaurants.

"Seeds of Celebration" were created in 2016 for the ninth annual Restaurant Week Hawaii, as a symbol of the growth provided through support of the week-long event. Three bookmarks were designed and distributed, attached with leaves made of seed paper containing parsley, basil and chive seeds.

A commemorative pin was created for the final Restaurant Week Hawaii in 2020.
