Born and raised in Jakarta, Elizabeth has watched her mother make clothes and bedding for as long as she can remember.
It all started when Elizabeth sewed her first table cloth at 10. As she grew older and became tired of wearing hand-me-downs, Elizabeth began to make her own dresses. She enjoys the creative process of making her own clothes, from designing to imagining how she would wear them.
Elizabeth sold her first product line, soft toys, when she was in high school and hasn’t stopped sewing since.
