REVIEW
Selecting Anne as our Interior Designer was one of the best decisions we made for our home remodel. Anne assisted us with both interior and exterior design ideas, furnishings and accessories. She was incredibly responsive, thoughtful and creative. Anne had a keen sense of what was right for not just the house but for us personally. She is very reliable and you can count on her in making excellent recommendations both from a design and financial perspective. She's fun to work with, made the process enjoyable and as a result we consider her as a trusted friend and continue to use her services . Anne always looked at options, showed flexibility when needed, but also was firm on important ideas that she knew would result in achieving our goals. Margie and I would highly recommend Anne to anyone considering a home remodel.

REVIEW
I recently completed a custom condo renovation at Mauna Lani Terraces where I had the pleasure of collaborating with Anne on the project. Her knowledge of custom finishes and fixtures elevated the space into a cohesive, refined environment, with a strong sense of symmetry, balance, and thoughtful proportion throughout. Her attention to detail was evident in every element, and she skillfully enhanced natural light and airflow to create a bright, open, and comfortable living space. She also worked seamlessly with other contractors, fostering a collaborative, well-coordinated process built on clear communication and mutual respect. I highly recommend her services for anyone seeking a beautifully executed, design-driven renovation.

REVIEW
Every time I visit Iwa, there is something new to look at! They’re always updating the artists represented in the cafe, or renovating the space. It is never stuffy, stagnant or boring. I find that to be exciting and refreshing - it’s like they want to continue to grow and evolve every day. Iwa is my favorite local hang out cafe.
Their menu is similar. They represent local and organic ingredients on a fresh, mostly vegan menu. My favorite: the tofu musubi and the “tuna” salad on house made bread. Everything is clean, flavorful, and memorable. Try the “honey girl” with locally roasted espresso and Hawaiian honey or the chai tea latte from a wonderful, philanthropic local tea company. The staff are a lovely group of artists as well. They’re attentive and kind. All around, I look forward to every occasion that I get to visit Iwa cafe and arts.

Anne’s organizational skills and artist’s eye maximized aesthetic and functional appeal of our home. She welcomed our input but we gave her free rein - and all of the work. The outcome was a quick sale at full asking price!

REVIEW
Our dream home has just been completed and Anne was absolutely instrumental in the process, we cannot thank her enough! Not only did Anne help us with interior design, she helped coordinate the exterior color of our home which is in my opinion one of the most important decisions to make. We wanted the exterior to compliment and be respectful of the land our home is on and Anne presented a color scheme that was perfect. She took the time to work with us on all the details inside and out, listened to our requests and questions, presented solutions, and genuinely cared about our project. We feel fortunate to have her working with us and helping in what could have been an overwhelming process.

This was the most beautiful space for our stained glass workshop. Functional and easily accessible for everyone. Waikahe Art & Design facilitated the brochure, advertisements and payment system for clear understanding of the workshop. Acceding all my expectations and providing a wonderful environment for making art, we will plan our next workshop with Waikahe Art & Design.
