Sounds familiar?
You are spending more time on tech than on your actual mission.
People visit your site but still ask what your project does.
Your tools, pages, and community spaces feel scattered.
GOOD NEWS
This is exactly what I fix

About
Love communities & run a small local karaoke community
From the Caribbean. Lived in 6 countries as an adult
3 years as UX/UI Designer @ Rakuten (Membership Platforms)
Hi, I'm Elly.
I'm the designer behind Kachi Studio. I build websites for founders building communities: NGOs, social startups, membership platforms, and everything in between.
Before going independent, I worked on digital products for memberships at Rakuten and currently freelance at NomadHer. That experience taught me how much clarity and structure matter when communities gather or interact online.
The word "Kachi" comes from Korean and means “together”, it reflects what I believe good design should do: bring people closer to what they are building.
When I am not designing, you will find me learning languages (working on eight!), planning my next trip to East Asia, dancing, or deep in a book club read.
Questions I Get Asked A Lot
Webflow, Squarespace, and WordPress for Web Design. Circle & Heartbeat for community platforms. I recommend the best fit based on your project and how you want to manage your site long term.
NGOs, social startups, membership communities, coliving and coworking spaces, responsible travel organisations, and impact founders. If you are building something that brings people together, let's talk.
I can add light visual foundations like typography and colour direction when needed. My main focus is website structure and design.
A custom website takes around four weeks when content and branding are ready. Platform setups take two to four weeks depending on complexity.
Absolutely. Some of my favourite projects have been taking a site that was not working and making it finally click.
Yes. After any project, retainer support is available if you want regular help managing or growing your digital presence.
I do not write copy, but I will not leave you stuck. You provide the text, and if you need help shaping it, I can assist using AI tools. The words should come from you since you know your community best.
Not much. Once we align on the project, I will send you a checklist. It typically includes your logo files, brand colours, any photos or visuals you want to use, testimonials, and the copy for each page. I will guide you through it so nothing feels overwhelming.
