Chief Endorphin Officer and Founder of KOMO Studio, Joy Bitonio, opened her doors in January 2020 and two months later, the pandemic hit. Over the next 2 years, her business endured five months of shutdowns and capacity restrictions until all mandates were lifted in March 2022. In 2023, Joy was selected to be part of Cohort 6 in XLR8HI’s pre-X program. With the support and knowledge from the program, Joy relocated the studio into a larger space in the Kailua Square Building. She now plans to open additional KOMO Studio locations starting with Honolulu. For more information, visit komohawaii.com and on all social media platforms @komostudio.
