About

Kia ora! I'm Dee, founder and head designer at Shilohs Way - a #contempronesian jewellery company, born out of the desire to connect with my māori heritage whilst living away from my whenua and my people.

Our whānau of 4 reside on Yugumbeh Lands of Gold Coast, Australia.  My experiences growing up between both inner city Australia and various parts of Aotearoa, have shaped a unique perspective of what it means to be maori.  Visualizing māori designs from my unique background fuels a different type of product.  Unusual and unexpected, a bit like me.

The youngest of 7 children created innovative play, quick thinking, creativity and a strong sense of independence.  Qualities i like to think are at the foundational layers of our pakihi.

Named after our daughter, Yva (Eva) Shiloh, our work embodies the essence of #contempronesian design, blending iconic māori motifs with futuristic design elements. This is our second year in this space and whilst we learn on the run, we're consistently grateful to have people like you investing time, interest and your precious koha with us. 

Welcome to the world of Shilohs Way
