About Us

Alexandra Fernandes & Sanoe Damon

We believe in the spirit of Aloha

Both born and raised in Hawai’i on the island of O’ahu, we became fast friends after working together on the Academy Award Winning, Alexander Payne film The Descendants in 2010 and our lives have been connected ever since. From commercial shoots, to television pilots, to blockbuster films, we’ve amassed 20+ years of experience between the two of us. In between jobs we’ve been lucky enough to travel internationally and experience some incredible adventures together. Fast-forward to working in various positions on the CBS reboot of Hawaii Five-0 for 10 unforgettable seasons as the Art Department and Production Coordinators.

Being individuals with big hearts and conscientious minds, we believe in the spirit of Aloha and have envisioned ways of sharing this with others.
