Christina White Creative Director
After 25 years as a designer and proprietor of a successful event business in Florida, I chose to sell my business and retire in Hawai‘i with my loving husband, son and fur babies and am currently loving life on Maui. During that time I had been an entrepreneur, merchandising buyer, sales director, designer, event manager and team leader. I am passionate about color and layering textures to create exotic and streamlined design styles. I design with a purpose and bring a clean, organic and fresh approach to events with a modern twist. I love challenges, am a master at designing within a budget and transitioning the ordinary into the extraordinary.
I love what I do and look forward to collaborating with you!

I am blessed to call it Hawai‘i my home. The purposeful introduction, incorporation and implementation of Hawaiian culture into program theming and content, as well as designing / facilitating Corporate Social Responsibility opportunities that benefit all stakeholders are part of my kuleana or responsibility. As a co-founder of Island Partners Hawai‘i, having a 30+-year career in the travel industry and Hawaiian cultural values awareness allows me to contribute unique perspective. Family, church and coaching high school football are some of my personal passions.
