HEY!
My name is Ekekela Novero, but most people know me as Puka.
I’m a creative professional born and raised in San Francisco, California. My skills range from product design, audio engineering, to video editing. In 2018, I graduated with a BA in Broadcast & Electronic Communication Arts from San Francisco State University with a focus on Sound Design for film.
Outside of filmmaking, I am a full-time Senior Product Designer. I’m passionate about bringing equitable and accessible design to our users and am proud to be able to bring an intersectional lens to my work as a queer non-binary person of color.
In my free time, I like to pursue other creative ventures such as film photography, signpainting, and DJing. Most importantly, I enjoy hanging out with my two dogs, Poenui & Hilo, who you can follow on IG: @poenuithebully.
I am currently available for freelance projects.
