Teri Kahan :
In Hawaiian, kaha means to draw, make marks, turn, or surf. The same letters make up the last name of designer Teri Kahan, and it's no mere coincidence. Teri loves to draw, and a passion for nature, the ocean and all things Hawaiian inspires her life and artwork.
The free-spirited, Southern California artist Teri Kahan wears many hats: graphic designer, type designer, calligrapher, illustrator, photographer and educator. With a career spanning almost 30 years, she currently specializes in logos and corporate communications.
Teri has designed fonts for ITC and also develops proprietary fonts, a notable example of which is Toyota's Lexus font.
