My full name is Kiana Timu Pomaika’i No Ke Akua Kailei Kanoa. Professionally, I wear many hats - I’ve been in the marketing industry since I was 16 years old, when I got my first internship at a digital marketing agency in Honolulu. Since then, innovation has been like a magnet for me. Going beyond creativity — integrating strategy, intention, and sustainable growth into the foundation of every client I work with.

At my core, I am a Native Hawaiian, deeply connected to nature and the island I call home. My travels have shaped me, expanding my perspective and allowing me to seamlessly bridge cultures, ideas, and people—creating meaningful connections in both life and business.

For what it’s worth, I’m a Pisces Sun, Scorpio Moon & Taurus Rising.
