User:Haunanipao

Haunani Pao is an American User Experience Designer and Consultant with 15 years experience of designing web products.

She is an American national and ethnically Hawaiian mixed with English, French, German, Portuguese, Chinese, and Maori.

Her name is Hawaiian in origin and pronounced "How-NAH-Nee", which is a challenge for most non-Polynesian peoples as they are not used to the sound the diphthong "au" makes.

Syntactically translated to English, Haunani means "beautiful snow", but semantically, it means "Handsome Ruler".

She is a US citizen and a NZ resident with a skilled migrant visa. Which allows her the opportunity to work in both countries.
