She started her career as the kumu kapa for the Cultural Learning Center at Ka`ala and since 2008 has been the owner of her own business, Kapa Hawaii, LLC.

Clients include the Aulani Disney Resort and Spa, Ka Makana Ali`i Mall, the Wailea Marriott Kapa Restaurant and many other commercial installations. She has also made numerous kapa pieces for kumu hula and singer Keali`i Reichel, the Dalai Lama, and the late Jimmy Borges as well as clients from around the world.
