About Us

---

Founder & CEO of Rise Communications, a Hawaiʻi-based branding and communications studio helping businesses rise with clarity, strategy, and intelligent systems.

I specialize in rebrands, messaging, and AI-powered workflows designed for small businesses, founders, and creative brands who want to grow without losing their voice.

I also lead Island Sanctuary Retreats, where I apply the same principles — intentional design, storytelling, and experience strategy — to transformational, place-based offerings rooted in culture and connection.

My work lives at the intersection of:
• Brand strategy
• AI education & automation
• Communications & storytelling
• Experience-driven design

I believe business should be both smart and soulful — and that technology should support people, not replace them.
