A transplant to Big Island from San Francisco, Gary brought over his 16 years of experience in the fast-paced Bay Area world of commercial and retail lighting.

Gary and the Aloha Light & Design team operate under the philosophy of the Hawaiian word kina’ole, which essentially means “doing the right thing; in the right way; at the right time; in the right place; to the right person; for the right reasons; with the right feeling—the first time.”[/vc_column_text][mk_image src=”https://buildmagazine.wpengine.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/10/20210831_125221.jpg” image_size=”full” title=”Gary Campbell & Ted Bainbridge” desc=”Hawaii”][mk_padding_divider size=”20″][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1635438667322{margin-bottom: 0px !important;}”]Listen in as Gary speaks on his love of travel, the differences of doing business on the mainland versus Hawaii, the blessings and challenges that come with having ultra-high-net-worth clients, and how he ensures he never makes a mistake on a single project.[/vc_column_text][mk_padding_divider size=”20″][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1625782555768{margin-bottom: 0px !important;}”]

  • There’s no place like home, really. Traveling is great and everything; but, knowing that I get to come back here—that’s the best.
  • When people think of Hawaii, they think of the beauty of the beaches and the scenery. To me, the real beauty is the people. The people here are just indescribable. It’s that aloha spirit. […] There are no pretenses. They’re just real people.
  • I’d rather work with clients and sell them what they want—find out what they want and find that. Or find them what they want and make that. That’s what we do. That’s what sets us apart. We’re not pushing anything on anybody. We’ll give you whatever you want, and if you don’t know what you want, we’ll tell you what you want.
  • I think everything’s a choice. What are you going to choose? Which way are you going to go? If you don’t like the way you’re going, change lanes or turn around, because you’re driving.
