Welcome

Hi, I'm Keoni. A maker based in South Carolina.

My studio is where I make things by hand that truly matter. Each piece starts with a question about craft, meaning, or beauty; and ends as something we can hold and enjoy for years to come.

Every Journey Notebook begins with a painting. The leather, elastic, and hardware are chosen to carry its palette into something you can hold and carry for years.
