Michele Kinimaka's Portfolio Gallery

Michele Kinimaka is originally from down under - Sydney, Australia. Her creative side first emerged in graphic design and advertising. She later developed a passion for interior design and after graduating from Sheffield, she decided to open her own decorating firm in Texas called Avalon Interiors. Combining her previous real estate experience with her interior design knowledge, Michelle soon began real estate staging and home remodels.

Michele Kinimaka skillfully mixed an Asian aesthetic with the Arts and Crafts style for her final project for Sheffield. A blend of Japanese accessories and Asian plants provide a serene setting for the earthy and crafts-oriented furniture. For her dining room, she presented a modern Asian approach through the use of dark woods, brushed silver metal works and bold prints.
