I’ve gained a lot of new followers lately we’re almost at 3K!! I want to introduce myself and make a more personal post about the person behind Wake and Wave Boards.
Hi everybody, I’m Kiana! I’m 29 years old and the one-woman show behind all of this.
I started Wake and Wave Boards in April of 2023 because I wanted to challenge myself, do something scary, and grow as a person. After asking myself what I genuinely love doing, the answer was charcuterie.
Before this, I only made boards for friends and family during the holidays, but I realized this is truly my passion. I love feeding people, making art out of food, and creating experiences people can enjoy.
I do almost everything nearly on my own, shopping, prepping, styling, deliveries, farmers markets, classes, table spreads, emails, social media… all of it. I rent kitchen space out of Lila’s Kitchen, where I prep all of your orders.
On top of running my business, I also work full-time at the front desk of a local hotel Monday through Friday. Saturdays are usually spent at events, deliveries, setting up spreads, or back at the farmers market, which I’m so excited to return to this season.
Outside of work, I love being near the water, basking in the sun, trying new restaurants and foods, traveling whenever I can, going to the dog park with Mochi girl, watching movies with my husband, lighting new candles, and spending time with friends and family whenever I can fit it in.
I grew up in Sequim, spent some time living in the Seattle area, and eventually found my way back home. I met my husband Jackson in 2016, and we got married in June of 2025. We also adopted our dachshund Mochi last year, and she fully runs our lives 🤍
I’m so grateful for everybody who has supported me, ordered from me, shared my work, or followed along here. Thank you for supporting my small business. Thank you to the day 1’s and the people I’ve met along the way!
