    Dada Shikako

    Shop Director

    Born in São Paulo and forged in the world of global cinematography, I bring a filmmaker's eye and sculptor's touch to my role as Shop Director at Arch Hawaii.

    My journey from film production to architectural innovation reflects my passion for transforming spaces through light and form. After years behind the camera as Director of Photography for leading brands and independent productions, I've transferred my visual storytelling expertise to the realm of physical space.

    At Arch Hawaii, I oversee production with cinematic precision, treating each architectural project as a immersive installation where light, material, and space converge. My film background informs how I frame environments and orchestrate the fabrication process, ensuring each design tells its intended story.

    My immersive installation sculptures—incorporating laser technology and responsive light systems—complement Arch Hawaii's architectural vision. I create experiential elements that transform conventional spaces into multi-sensory environments uniquely attuned to Hawaii's natural rhythms.

    As Shop Director, I bridge conceptual design and physical execution, bringing production discipline from film to architecture. I'm dedicated to translating creative visions into tangible spaces that evoke emotion and transform how we experience the built environment in Hawaii.

    "Architecture, like film, is about creating worlds. At Arch Hawaii, we're not just building structures—we're crafting experiences that reshape how people interact with space."

    Director of Marketing & Business Development

    As an only child, I had a huge imagination. I was always exploring, learning, and trying things out—turning everyday moments into creative adventures. That sense of curiosity and wonder shaped the foundation of who I am and continues to drive how I approach storytelling, branding, and connection.

    Now, as Director of Marketing & Business Development at Arch Hawaii, I bring that same imaginative spirit into everything I do. With a background in immersive events, lifestyle branding, and strategic marketing, I specialize in crafting narratives that not only communicate, but resonate—inviting people to feel something, to experience design in a new way.

    At Arch Hawaii, I lead marketing strategy, digital storytelling, and business development with an eye toward authenticity and emotional impact. I help build community partnerships, oversee brand direction, and create memorable touchpoints—from social media to real-life events—that reflect the heart of our architectural vision.

    I believe the spaces we create tell stories—and the way we share those stories matters. Through thoughtful marketing and intentional engagement, I turn ideas into experiences and help shape how people connect with design in Hawaii and beyond.

    “Don’t wait for an opportunity. Create it.”
