Making Room

By the age of 12, Michelle Jaime liked to regularly rearrange her bedroom, drawing up furniture plans and, as a self-proclaimed Virgo, neurotically trying to find the perfect, tidy place for everything. One of eight children, six of whom are half-siblings, Jaime grew up in Hawaiʻi Kai among a sprawling yet close-knit family drawn to creative endeavors—her dad fixed up old VW buses, her grandfather was a hobby calligrapher, her brother David now builds out interiors and boutiques like Echo and Atlas and Sig on Smith.
