Bio

About

Hello there! I’m Isa, 22 years old, and I am based in Cebu, Philippines. I am a scholar at Thames International Business School, taking up BS Entrepreneurship. I have always loved fashion ever since I was younger, and my goal is to create a sustainable clothing solution for the growing textile waste problem and environmental degradation caused by the fashion industry; as well as promote ethical and safe labor practices in this industry.

My grandmother started teaching me how to sew when I was ten years old. During the pandemic, amidst quarantine, I experimented with scrap fabrics and old clothes, and turned them into new garments. I hope to one day turn this little venture into a social enterprise that can spark positive changes in the behaviors of both consumers and producers.
