Jacob Kongaika

I began my graphic design career in 2008, freelancing while working in the sign and beverage industries. In 2015, I transitioned to product design (UX/UI), taking on a variety of SaaS projects ranging from legal tech to music education. Over the past 16 years, I’ve successfully blended these two disciplines, leading projects from concept to completion and driving brand success through strategic design and collaboration. I’ve delivered high-quality design solutions across various industries.

While I am a multidisciplinary creative, my primary focus and passion are in graphic design and product design.

But wait, there’s more!

American

Polynesian

I’m proud to be a Polynesian American. I was born in American Samoa and spent most of my childhood in the Kingdom of Tonga until I was 11. Then, I moved to Hawai’i, where I graduated from high school and college, and started my family. My dad is from Ha’apai, Tonga, and my mom is from Orem, Utah. I’m the youngest of 4.

Husband

& Father

I married my high school sweetheart in Hawai’i. We have 3 children and they are the joys of our life. We live in the heart of Silicon Slopes Utah and have lived here since 2006. My wife makes amazing quilts, lights up any room she walks in with her positive energy and smile. My oldest son is a creative genius who is writing his own dictionary and going to school to become a chemical engineer. My second oldest is one of the strongest kids in the state and an amazing athlete. My daughter loves music and being in theater. I love being a dad! We love Utah but also love trips back home to Hawai’i any chance we get.

I love

music

During my senior year of college in Hawaii, I wrote a collection of songs that, a year later, brought me to Sony and Tony Bennett Studio in New Jersey to record my first official album. In 2006, I became the first U.S. musician to crowdfund an album. In total, I’ve crowdfunded two albums and have performed worldwide. Music is one of my favorite creative outlets, inspired by growing up in a household where my parents often sang together. I also participated in show and concert choirs throughout high school and college.

The world

inspires me

Growing up in the South Pacific was amazing. A perfect time in a picture perfect place. I’ve also been fortunate enough to explore much of the world. From visiting temples and shrines in Kyoto, Japan, to the Eagle’s Nest in Germany, and walking the halls of the Vatican in Italy, I love learning about new cultures and customs. My family and the way I see this beautiful world inspires me to live a creative life.
