Undeniably she is one of the most sought-after female celebrity. With numerous product endorsements, TV programs, movie tie-ups and a recording album, Solenn made her mark in Philippine Showbiz as one of the most talented Kapuso artists by far. 

Right now she is busy strutting her stuff every Sunday with her electrifying performance in Sunday All Stars and enjoys hosting opposite fellow "it girl" Isabelle Daza in Taste Buddies. 

But Solenn knows that showbiz is not forever, and that she will eventually go back to her first love, the fashion industry. 

“No kasi may fall back naman ako kasi  I studied fashion designing and make-up artistry. Nagtrabaho ako sa isang chinese company for three years bago ako nag-showbiz so I finished my studies. Alam ko na babalik ako sa fashion designing.”

The Kapuso actress also ventured into the food business. Although, putting up a restaurant is a daunting task, Solenn says she learned a lot. Since the restaurant business in the Philippines is highly competitive, she now knows how to handle criticism creatively.

“Well may mga siyempre naman maraming were like five owners bawat isa may mga kailangan gawin. So ako mas appearance of the place, uniforms ganun, siyempre naman yung papers hindi ko kaya yung mga papers and all that so may professional naman kami duon.” 

She added, “But, you learn a lot that especially restaurant business ang daming restaurants ngayon ang daming tao na tawag nila ‘foodie’, so there’s a lot of criticisms you have to learn how to deal with that and you always have to be matatag sa restaurant business kasi 'pag one day mali, ayan they won’t come back yung mga clients ganun.”
