This Pacific-island girl 🌺 once dreamt of running a community bed and breakfast on the Hāmākua Coast of the Big Island of Hawai’i.

Instead of hosting travellers looking for a relaxing island experience? I work with visionaries to bring their story to life on a website.

As a community-building brand and web strategist, I dig beneath the surface to understand your customer on a deep level and bring that to life with a modern website design. Because customers today want to be understood on a deep level.

And the only thing I love more than designing WordPress websites? Deep discussions answering philosophical questions like what is community? and what does ethical business mean, REALLY?

What Clients Say

"I had the words for my blog, but no design I liked or desire to invest until Krista came along. She made me realize that investing in something you are passionate about is always worth it. The proof is in the pudding! You can see what beautiful work Krista does by looking at the websites she creates. From creating a personalized logo, to picking fonts that connect with your brand, she brings her clients' visions to life.

She is also good at walking people through the process of building a brand and online presence. If you don't know where to start, Krista is there to guide you! Krista prioritizes her clients so her work is always done in a timely manner. She is quick to reply to emails and is supportive of any questions or concerns you might have.

The end result of seeing my blog live for the first time - I got chills! Krista can help add that extra touch you need to make your brand stand out."

"Because of Krista I was able to work with double the amount of clients and actually have a life while increasing my revenue. I invested in Krista's services because of her positive, can-do attitude that made me feel excited to work with her every week.

Krista is very solutions oriented and will continue to work and troubleshoot until things get done. She was such a valuable addition to my team and I'm so truly grateful for being able to trust Krista with my business and clients."

"Before I worked with Krista, I was overwhelmed. Blogger was getting messy and I do not possess the technical skills to continue attempting to backend the coding on the level necessary to force it into being what I needed.

My new website is clean and attractive. The back end feels more intuitive each time I use it. Krista is patient, clear, easy to work with and I would recommend her and her skills to anyone needing web help.

Krista's communication is clear and timely. The tools she uses are easy to follow for those of us not on the cutting edge of tech. Her tutorials and follow up notes are professional and simple to follow. Keep doing all things in the Krista-method. She's absolutely perfected it."

Living Abroad Gave Me the Space to Solve My Problems

What to Include on Your Freelance Portfolio Website

You deserve to feel fully expressed.

Investing in a website designer may be scary – like the first time I went to a networking event alone. But the biggest times of growth happen when we make big moves regardless of how scary it may feel.

Last year, I made the biggest investment to date in my business – Branding School. What I found with that investment was the business clarity and education I needed to become fully booked for three months in a row.

If you need a website solution from a designer who specializes in brand positioning, get in touch! Working together will be more memorable than the time I trekked 10 miles to get up close and personal with the lava flow on the Big Island.

Time to throw on my red lipstick and force myself to socialize at the next Sunday brunch!
