about the owner

Janis is a Kaua’i girl born and raised, so she literally grew up in the Surf + Sand.  As a small island girl relying on the natural resources around her daily, Janis has a deep-rooted appreciation and respect for land and sea.  Sustainability is inherent in her being. Janis, a graduate of the Fashion Institute of Design & Merchandising (FIDM), also has a keen eye for fashion, especially sharing what she likes with others. Incorporating her work experience in buying & planning as well as accounting, it has always been a dream for Janis to have her very own fashion-forward boutique with roots in sustainability - a platform to share her passion with others, all the while taking care of Mother Earth and providing for her three children. 

Janis looks forward to sharing her “Kaua’i style” and “Aloha spirit” with all of you.  Her mission is to connect you with independent makers whose creations enable us to do our part as a community in making the world a better, more beautiful place for ourselves and our children.
