Hi, I’m Dawna, the founder of Flourish and your partner in building a strong online presence for your business. With 15 years of dedication in the U.S. Air Force and over six years of experience helping small businesses navigate the digital world, I bring a mix of precision, creativity, and a deep commitment to helping you succeed. 

My journey into this field started simply—helping friends set up their business profiles online. I quickly realized how many small business owners struggle to find time or know where to begin. That’s when I discovered my passion: empowering local businesses to grow and thrive in today’s competitive online landscape.

What sets me apart is my hands-on approach. Whether it’s optimizing your Google Business Profile, managing booking systems like Calendly, or even tackling platforms like Yelp or Bing, I work directly with you to create tailored solutions. My mission is simple: to take the stress out of digital management so you can focus on what you do best—running your business.

I believe small businesses and their owners are the backbone of our communities, just like dandelions—resilient, adaptable, and capable of thriving even in tough environments. I’m here to help your business not just grow, but truly flourish.

When I’m not working with clients, I’m spending time with my boyfriend, our soon to be four wonderful (and crazy) kids. Exploring all Hawai'i, or playing video and table games.

Let’s connect and take your business to the next level!

Short Version

Like dandelions, small businesses are resilient and full of potential. They take root in their communities, adapt to challenges, and spread seeds of growth and impact. A dandelion’s ability to thrive in any condition mirrors the journey of small businesses—determined, resourceful, and ready to flourish. 

Long Version

The dandelion is more than just a flower (or a weed, as often viewed) —it’s a symbol of resilience, growth, and transformation. Its roots run deep, symbolizing a strong foundation, while its seeds spread far and wide, carried by the wind to flourish wherever they land. Much like small local businesses, dandelions are adaptable, determined, and capable of thriving even in challenging environments.

Small local businesses, like dandelions, often start modestly but have the potential to spread their impact far beyond their beginnings. They bring beauty, connection, and value to their communities, just as dandelions bring life to their surroundings. The dandelion’s ability to adapt, grow, and flourish resonates deeply with my mission—to help businesses establish a strong foundation, expand their reach, and thrive in the digital world.

With a dandelion as my logo, I hope to reflect the essence of what it means to grow and flourish, no matter where you’re planted.
