Aloha, my name is Christina and I create art using primarily wood. I love to add hand-lettered designs using modern calligraphy. I live and make in the beautiful Rocky Mountains of Colorado, USA. I’ve always been a maker, but Mauka Designs, LLC was officially registered in early 2017. I started focusing more on wood working when my father passed away unexpectedly in 2018. I used wood working as therapy and I have developed skills to create the art I envision.
I have slowly collected hand tools & power tools for my small, home-based shop. I am a full-time mom of two young children (1.5 years, and 3 years) by day and a woodworker by naps/nighttime.
Mauka (mao-kah) is a Hawaiian word meaning “toward the mountains” in the context of directions. I moved to the mauka side of the mainland from Hawai’i in 2013. I am also a Green Beret Spouse-Owned Business featured on the Green Beret Foundation website.
Thank you for shopping small businesses. Every purchase is noticed and helps fuel my passion. Check out more custom art pieces on my Instagram @maukadesigns.
