The founder began sewing at age 10, inspired by her grandmother and mother, both skilled seamstresses. She started creating dance wear and costumes in her teens, later working as a production manager for a swim suit factory.

Each item is made with care, reflecting a long-standing dedication to handmade apparel and functional design for both performance and therapeutic use.
