Meet the founder
Our Story
Founder & Creative Director
Hi, I’m Charlene — the founder of Taiao Studio and Taiao Homes.
Taiao Studio is an extension of my journey — from building homes with my hands to designing spaces that feel deeply aligned, intentional, and lived in. As I continue completing my qualification in building and evolving into interior design, my vision is to bring both worlds together — creating homes that are not only built well, but felt.
I’ve always been drawn to natural materials, earthy tones, and spaces that feel grounding yet refined. To me, a home isn’t just about how it looks — it’s about how it supports your everyday life, your energy, and your sense of calm.
Taiao Studio was created from a desire to offer pieces that reflect this — considered, warm, and quietly elevated. Not overly styled, not mass-produced, but intentional. The kind of pieces that sit effortlessly in a space and make it feel complete.
Everything you see here is selected with that vision in mind — aligning with quality, simplicity, and a more conscious way of living.
This is just the beginning of Taiao — a brand that will continue to grow into both the spaces we build and the way we live within them.
Thank you for being here and supporting something built with purpose.
— Charlene
Grounded living. Thoughtfully designed.
