About LU

"Design is thinking made visual."- Saul Bass

Hello there! My name is Luana Ako with Luana pronounced like "Moana" but with a "Lu", so for sake of remember you can just go ahead call me Lu. I am a graphic designer currently based in the Sonoma County, CA. My specialties and interest range in logo design, brand identity, typography, print marketing, editorial and publication layout design, as well as packaging design.

I have always been a creative person so being able to develop that into my passion, better yet have my passion be my career has been an awesome journey. I am constantly inspired by my surroundings and strive to develop new innovative ideas and concepts for solving the complex problem. I have a very unconventional approach and love working with different media's such as print, digital, and screen printing.

If you're not growing you're dying and as a designer I am constantly growing and building my skill set. Everyone can be good but being great takes work and thats a challenge I've accepted a long time ago.
