Ashlee and Keliʻi.

Aloha, I’m Keli‘i

Keli‘i is Hawaiian, born and raised in Hilo on the Island of Hawaiʻi. She has also lived on the U.S. mainland and in Europe. Keli‘i was raised speaking Hawaiian and spent a decade as the Director of Cultural Affairs of the Hawaiʻi Tourism Authority. She has a keen eye for design and was the mastermind behind our Waikīkī apartment renovations. She enjoys dreaming and scheming our many travel and business adventures.

G’day, I’m Ashlee

Ash is Australian, with Maltese-Northern Irish heritage, born and raised in Sydney. She landed her dream job at Hawaiʻi Tourism’s Australia office and spent six years marketing the Hawaiian Islands. After clocking up over 40 trips to Hawaiʻi she moved to Honolulu in 2015 and continues to work in Hawaiʻi’s tourism space.
