Aloha! I'm the creator of Aloha in Every Bite and the founder of Kihei Web Design LLC, where my two biggest passions - Hawaiian culture and digital creativity - come together in the heart of Maui.Just a few short years ago, I took my first trip to Maui and was instantly hooked. The beauty, spirit, and community of the island made such an impact on me that I knew I had to return - not just to visit, but to stay. After one unforgettable vacation in October 2017, I made the leap and landed back in Maui just 30 days later to start a brand new chapter.Now based in Kihei, I've combined my love of the island with years of experience in web design, marketing, SEO, and small business development. I started Kihei Web Design LLC to bring fresh, modern digital services to local businesses across the islands, helping them grow, connect, and thrive.But my love for Maui didn't stop at pixels and code - it extended into the kitchen.
