Shu Tan is a curator and creative designer based in New York, and co-founder of Café Studio.
Her work centers on shaping spaces – from interiors to studios – creating environments where artists, photographers, and brands come together to make work. Through years of collaborating with creative teams, curating exhibitions, and designing spatial experiences, a deeper sensitivity developed toward what makes a room feel complete. Not just how it looks, but how it holds people, light, and movement.
In working alongside artists and photographers, one idea remained constant: the feeling of a space influences everything created within it.
Café Studio Home began with two of Shu's greatest passions: living spaces and scent.
