Our Mission

ACEND is more than a creative studio—supporting the local Kaua’i community is central to the company’s mission. I believe in recognizing and uplifting my clients, friends, and neighbors in everything I do. Whether that’s through collaborating with small business owners or volunteering in a crisis, we can express our gratitude by working together to build an even stronger community.

Love, Respect & Aloha

It’s Hawai’i’s commitment to its people and our willingness to pull together that makes us strong. While Kaua’i may be a small island, the impact we can have on our community can be huge.

 

If you have a collaboration opportunity you’d like to share, or are interested in becoming involved with the ACEND community, get in touch.
