Creatives and Culture

“Clear is better than clever, and done is better than perfect. As a creative, it’s easy to get stuck chasing perfection, but when you run a business, you have to prioritize impact and efficiency. I had to learn how to balance artistry with strategy—how to make things I’m proud of that also make sense for the client and the business.”

"It's really fun to share the culture and experiences that I grew up with. The coolest part is creating an environment where people feel welcome, sharing a meal, and just having that Aloha spirit resonate through the food."

“I started with nothing. No audience, no strategy—just a blog and a passion for sharing my experiences. That blog turned into social media influencing, and over the years, I organically grew my platform to over 11,000 followers. No shortcuts, no gimmicks—just consistency, connection, and showing up.”
