“Kristi first helped me migrate from one POS system to another. I hate technology, so she handled all of the technical details and made the entire process much smoother than I expected.  She also set up my first online paid ad campaign. Her ability to explain things clearly, while also taking care of the complicated setup, made a huge difference. I’m incredibly grateful for her expertise and calmness in stressful times.”

“Working with Kristi has been a game changer for me and my business.   Before Kristi I spent hours watching You Tube videos trying to "figure it out:".  Generally it resulted in me wanting to throw my laptop out the window,  Kristi has a way of breaking things down into simple steps that actually make sense. Instead of feeling overwhelmed by technology, I now feel like I have a clear path forward. If you’re a small business owner who needs help making all the pieces work together, Kristi is the person to call.”

“I first met Kristi when she presented a Canva class in Seaside.  She is an excellent presenter.  When teaching a class she is well  prepared, knows the content extremely well, and is very willing and able to meet the needs of individuals, whether they are new to technology, or are quite proficient.

Kristi is eager and willing to assist us in moving forward with tech tools that make the time in the office more productive.  When I have computer questions or issues, Kristi has stepped in and helped to solve problems.  She is very kind, efficient, and listens before creating a plan of action.  Kristi walks you through her thought processes by explaining things clearly, answering questions along the way, and making technology a tool instead of a challenge.  She is very approachable, always positive, and never makes you feel silly if you need clarification or have multiple, repetitive questions.

The service Kristi offers is quite a valued asset within our community.  She is trustworthy, honest, and respectful.  Without hesitation, I would highly recommend Kristi to anyone seeking technology expertise.”

“Kristi taught us  how to create videos in Canva, but instead of just watching a presentation, we actually created and edited videos step by step. Kristi explained the process clearly and made sure everyone kept up along the way. By the end of the class I had a finished video and the confidence to create more on my own.”

“My first small group tech class was with Kristi Waits, and it made a real difference for my small business. As the operator of Hillcrest Inn, a boutique inn on the Oregon coast, I’m always looking for ways to better connect with guests and run my business more efficiently. Kristi’s class was personal, easy to follow, and left me feeling empowered to use new technology with confidence.

I immediately signed up for her Mailchimp class and a private session to learn even more. The skills I gained have been valuable not only for my hospitality business but also for the nonprofit organizations I support.”

"Kristi’s weekly tech class on AI tools was fantastic! She gave a clear overview of several tools including ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, and Copilot, and showed us how each one can be used in everyday work. The class was approachable, informative, and surprisingly fun. I left feeling excited instead of intimidated by AI.”
