Jade Lun is the founder of Jade Agency Hawaii, established in 2022. A Columbia College Chicago graduate, she earned her Bachelors in Fine Arts in Advertising Art Direction with a Marketing minor in just three years. Her career spans prestigious agencies including Leo Burnett Worldwide, Foote, Cone & Belding, and Weber Shandwick. The American Association of Advertising Agencies recognized her as a Multicultural Advertising Internship Program awardee in 2015. She received the 2019 Creative Catalyst Emerging Leader Award in Chicago.

Although planning to start her agency later in life, the COVID-19 pandemic inspired Jade to pursue her dreams sooner. With only her cat, Waylan, and two suitcases, she left the mainland for Hawaii to begin a new life chapter. She joined AD 2 as a board member in 2021 and serves on the Make-A-Wish Young Leaders Board and as a Wish Granter. Her agency has served clients such as Reddit, Olive Garden, Servco, and FarmLovers Farmers Market.

Adrian Walker has been happily ensconced in Hawai‘i for about 17 years now. His circuitous route to the Islands – during which he served as copywriter and copy director at agencies from Tokyo to Cincinnati – helped him develop his unique perspective on the challenges and joys of advertising. He has crafted concepts and copy for multi-billion-dollar multinationals and mom-and-pop shops alike, quietly having a lot of fun along the way.

Lindsay’s path to leadership at MVNP has been shaped by dedication, collaboration, and a passion for bringing people together. Over the past eight years, she’s focused on building strong client partnerships and fostering a connected, supportive team culture—whether leading brand campaigns or organizing agency gatherings.

Originally from Milwaukee, she began her career at Jacobson/Rost (now Morning Walk), where she worked on national brands like MillerCoors and Royal Enfield. Since joining MVNP in 2017, she has enjoyed collaborating with clients and creatives alike—most notably helping to lead the award-winning Hawai‘i Rooted and Mālama Hawai‘i campaigns for the Hawai‘i Visitors & Convention Bureau.

Lindsay is also the co-president of AAF Hawai‘i, an active community volunteer, and a proud mom. Today, as MVNP’s Managing Director – West Coast, she continues to cultivate strong client relationships and help guide the agency’s account service team.

Karen Brizendine is a Honolulu-based freelance animator with over a decade of experience in post-production. She specializes in 2D animation, motion graphics, and visual effects—and has a not-so-secret love for spreadsheets.

With degrees in both accounting and animation, Karen enjoys working at the intersection of left-brain precision and right-brain creativity. She considers herself fortunate to have started at Montaj 9, where she was mentored by some of Hawaiʻi’s leading advertising creatives. Since then, she has worked across nearly every facet of post—from motion graphics and VFX to assistant editing, finish, and final delivery—helping keep projects polished and pipelines running smoothly.

She has worked on award-winning campaigns recognized by the Pele Awards, Communication Arts, national ADDYs, and a regional Emmy nomination.

When she’s not wrangling keyframes, Karen enjoys trivia nights, hiking with her dog Rocco Taco Bell, and the ongoing mission to teach her cat how to walk on a leash.
