Hi, I’m Shaolin

Born into an interior design-construction family, she is third generation, on both sides, in the industry. She spent her childhood playing in construction zones, painting walls and eventually decorating her own homes - interior design has been embedded in her DNA.

After graduating from high school in Honolulu, she left for a year abroad in London and finished her degree in Public Relations at the University of Florida. After experiencing life in San Francisco, Los Angeles, and New York City as a freelance Event Producer, Shaolin was exposed and positively impacted by a variety of design tastes, styles, and aesthetics. Merging her lifetime love of event planning and interior design, she started her home staging business in 2016 and Studio Shaolin in 2020, with an idea to have interiors reflect the people who inhabit them.

Drawing inspiration from her travels, she reached 30 countries by her 30th birthday, she can appreciate every aesthetic. Surrounded by the natural beauty of Hawaii, Shaolin focuses on sustainable, holistic design that has a lived-in, comfortable style, with an elevated twist.

Her work and expertise has been featured in Modern Luxury Hawaii magazine, Midweek Hawaii, Honolulu Magazine, Sunset Magazine, and many other publications.
