  • Nick Kuchar vintage Waikiki bar branding

    The SplashBar Rebrand

    Built on land that was once the estate of Hawaii's last and most beloved princess, the Sheraton Princess Kaiulani is a garden oasis in the heart of Waikiki. When they wanted to rebrand their pool bar, they came to me to create a fresh look. One that was inspired by the Polynesian Tiki roots that have plenty of history in Waikiki.

    Birdwell Beach Britches Sizing Illustrations

    It's no secret around here that I love to surf and am inspired by the surf culture. So when Birdwell Beach Britches reached out to get some illustrations done for their size chart, I jumped at the chance. I got to design these guys in different sizes to help prospective customers looking for trunks visualize what size shorts they should purchase. 
  • Nick Kuchar Jamba Juice Surf Gift Cards

    Jamba Juice Holiday Gift Cards

    Drew these kooks for Jamba Juice Hawaii's holiday gift cards. For the smoothie/acai bowl fiends, I mean friends, in your life. It was a blast to create these fun illustrations to celebrate the holiday season with a tropical and also uniquely Hawaiian way. Complete with a party wave and tiny mango shakes. 
  • Ono Cold Brew Coffee

    Ono Gelato & Espresso Coffee Packaging

    'Ono is the Hawaiian word for 'delicious' and that is exactly what this quaint gelato espresso bar on Front St. in Lahaina, Maui serves up. Ono Gelato Company is no stranger to serving up delicious treats, but when they wanted to put out a new line of coffee beans and cold brew, they came to me for some branding help.
  • Nick Kuchar Vintage Maui Travel Print Grand Wailea

    Grand Wailea 25th Anniversary Print Series

    The Grand Wailea certainly lives up to it's name. Whether you've booked a stay and explored one of the nine, sparkling pools or just driven by the sprawling estate on your way to Big Beach, it's safe to say that it's become a staple since it opened on Maui. So I was so excited to memorialize the last 25 years for them with a series of three vintage-inspired travel posters.
