With more than 18 years of experience across Honolulu, San Francisco, and Los Angeles, Jena brings a richly layered perspective to Studio Savant. Her background in hospitality and design-forward corporate interiors is guided by a fascination with how people move, feel, and connect within a space.

Drawing from a deep love of fashion, music, culture, and psychology, she creates environments with rhythm, texture, and narrative — places that resonate emotionally while supporting the way people live and work. Jena pairs this creative intuition with strong technical proficiency and a thorough understanding of building codes, ensuring that each concept translates seamlessly into a refined, built reality.

Carlie discovered her passion for shaping experiences early, organizing events and projects that sparked her curiosity in how people engage with space. Her work in experiential design deepened this focus, revealing how atmosphere, interaction, and emotion influence meaningful connection within an environment.

With strengths in project management, client stewardship, and a highly intuitive eye for detail, she brings both structure and sensitivity to every project. Seventeen years in the luxury sector refined her appreciation for craftsmanship and elevated materials, reinforcing her belief that refinement and warmth can coexist beautifully.

Holding a BA in Art History and Psychology and a Master’s in Interior Architecture, Carlie designs from a place of historical awareness rather than trends, creating spaces that feel intentional, timeless, and quietly expressive.
