Aloha, I'm Krista Aoki —
a social change digital marketer.

I help small businesses tell stories, build relationships, and make an impact.

I help impact-driven organizations grow their online visibility so they can focus on what they do best: making a positive impact and transforming the lives of others.

It's what I do at kapwa studio, where we help impact-driven businesses create relationships online through organic growth, community building and storytelling.

I also write the Big Island Beat, a weekly newsletter about events happening on the Big Island. Occasionally, I take on other (select) freelance projects.
