FF&E DESIGNER & STYLIST

Meet Malia, our multi-talented FF&E Designer and Stylist at Studio GIW! Her love for photography led her to cross paths with Tess, who offered her an opportunity to work on an interior photoshoot. That encounter ignited Malia's love for design and styling, and she quickly became an indispensable member of our team. She has broadened her knowledge and skills, starting from assisting with documentation and quickly being promoted to FF&E Designer & Stylist.

Malia's natural creativity and ability to capture the essence of a space are invaluable to us, and she's always seeking new ways to enhance the visual appeal of our products and spaces. Whether it's helping customers in-store, styling photos, updating our website, or gathering samples for clients, Malia approaches every task with enthusiasm and a keen eye for detail.
