Lisha’s journey reflects her deep passion for fashion, sewing, pattern making, and technical design. Her love for creating garments began at a young age, crafting clothes for her Barbie dolls, a passion nurtured by her mother and older sister. This early interest in design and fabric laid the foundation for her future success in the fashion industry.

As she pursued her passion, Lisha became an Apparel Technical Designer, working with top retailers and building a reputation for her meticulous attention to detail. Her expertise in garment construction and fit made her a sought-after expert, combining style with functionality in her designs. Her technical background became a key asset throughout her career.
