About Ted Visaya
Ted is a multidisciplinary designer, artist, writer, and creative researcher with roots in both the technology world and the islands. Based now in Honolulu, Hawaiʻi, Ted brings together his years of Silicon Valley experience, his island heritage, and a spiritual sensibility to his work.
A Journey of Technical Mastery + Creative Vision
Ted holds a Bachelor of Science in Behavioral Science from the University of San Francisco, which shaped his understanding of human dynamics, motivation, and systems thinking. Over decades in engineering, design, and R&D roles, he has built expertise in:
- Project management, problem solving, and systems design
- Design integration across mechanical, electrical, and user experience domains
- Research, prototyping, and concept development
- Bridging technical rigor with aesthetic communication
Rather than siloing creativity and engineering, Ted’s approach is to synthesize both: to craft designs that are not only efficient and functional but also expressive, meaningful, and human-centered.
What You’ll Find Here
This site is a window into Ted’s creative world. You’ll encounter:
- Design & consulting offerings grounded in engineering, research, and aesthetic thinking
- Art & visual work that bridges AI, digital media, and island motifs
- Writing & storytelling projects—fiction and non-fiction—that explore identity, place, and meaning
- Reflections & process insight into how technical systems and creative systems intersect
Ted believes in sharing openly, learning continuously, and using creativity as a form of connection. Whether you’re here as a collaborator, client, or fellow traveler, he welcomes you to explore, engage, and co-create.
illustrator
“Drawing on decades of vector mastery, I wield Adobe Illustrator to craft crisp, scalable artwork that balances precision with expressive line. From logos to complex illustrations, I push paths and expand shapes until every curve tells a story—and I relish turning concept into clean, impactful graphics.”
photoshop
“Adobe Photoshop is my digital darkroom, where texture, light, and color come alive. Whether I’m compositing, retouching, or mood-painting, I move between layers and masks with intent—transforming base images into polished visuals imbued with atmosphere, depth, and narrative weight.”
Parametric CAD / custom Jewelry Design
“With parametric CAD (using tools like Solidworks, Autodesk Inventor, for example, I sculpt jewelry in algorithmic form. I fuse mathematics and aesthetics—designing rings, pendants, and ornamental pieces whose geometry is driven by parametric formulas. The result: custom, 3D-print-ready jewelry that carries both structural elegance and personal meaning.”
GoDaddy Website & AI-Image Generation
“On the web front, I build websites via GoDaddy’s AI-powered tools (Airo, image generation, etc.), weaving together layout, content, and generated visuals into a coherent and engaging experience. I don’t just assemble pages—I direct the AI’s creative spark, fine-tune assets, and shape the look and feel so your site feels distinct, polished, and alive.”
