About Jessica Nakamura

Nonprofit director turned web developer specializing in beautiful, functional custom web pages, projects, and apps.

Jessica is of mixed Filipina ancestry and grew up in Pennsylvania as the oldest of six. She became a first-generation college student, studying social science at her local community college and going on to complete a Bachelor of Arts at the California Institute of Integral Studies. In 2015, Jessica enrolled in a work exchange program that brought her to Lahaina on the island of Maui. Jessica has spent the majority of her career working in various nonprofit services, including public libraries, the Head Start program, affordable housing, and financial literacy. She has a deep commitment to people, community, equity, and education, which she now combines with her love of web development to create websites, online platforms, mobile apps, and tools that serve the greater good. Jessica has been building websites, publishing newsletters, and learning new computer things since her family got their first PC in the 1990s. In 2024, she decided to turn her skills and passions into self-employment and launched Nakamura Web Services. She looks forward to serving the Hawai'i community for many years to come!

What Clients Say

  • Our experience working with Jessica was extremely helpful and positive. The entire website process went smoothly due to Jessica's organization and openness. She consistently met and exceeded our expectations in terms of communication, timeline, and project management, and was timely and responsive, always open to checking in and making space for conversations with our team. We especially appreciated her proactive approach in communicating deadlines, providing updates on task completions, and offering thoughtful suggestions for improvements to the website based on feedback and requests from the HACBED team...

    We would recommend Nakamura Web Services to others and in fact, we already have. Jessica is highly attentive to detail, consistently communicative, and offers a reasonable rate that aligns well with the unique needs and budget of nonprofits in Hawaiʻi. Her approach is both professional and Hawaiʻi-focused, which makes her a valuable resource for organizations like ours.
