Alert readers let The Garden Island know that Warren Haruki of Verizon is not the only Kaua’i native in line to receive a Distinguished Alumni Award from the University of Hawai’i Alumni Association.
Like Haruki a Kapa’a High School graduate, Kurt Osaki, founder and chief executive officer of Osaki Design, Inc., is a UH graduate who is an internationally recognized graphics designer.
With over 10 years of professional experience in design and sports branding, he has worked on a wide variety of national and international projects.
He is involved with the Japanese Community Cultural Center of Northern California, and is co-founder and vice president of the Hawai’i Chamber of Commerce of Northern California.
Osaki has always kept close to his Hawaiian roots, and has even tapped into the entertainment industry, successfully co-producing an on-going Hawaiian music and cultural event, “Sounds of Hawai’i,” promoting Hawaiian music and culture throughout the West Coast.
His most momentous conception, though, is the creation of the latest UH athletic and UH Foundation logos.
