Hello, my name is Kiara! I was born and raised on the beautiful island of Guam and I currently reside in Sunny California (island girl here!).

Growing up, I always knew that I wanted to work for myself, but I was never too sure what kind of business I actually wanted to own. I had been working a regular 9-5 job with no real sense of direction or thoughts of the future when the pandemic came along. It forced my full time job to close down, completely diminishing my only source of income and I have never been unemployed for more than a few weeks since I was fifteen years old so I was at a huge lost. 

I sat around my apartment for days trying to figure out a solution. Then it finally hit me - I have been working in the spa industry for over two years and in those years, I have been surrounded by all different types of skincare. Unbeknownst to myself, I had been learning how to build a business in the esthetics industry! All I had to do was learn how to create the products I spent hundreds of hours learning about. And so the research and newfound passion began. 

While in quarantine, I discovered a few more passions: candle making and designing. Check out Chiara Candle Co. and Chiara Designs too!
