Designer and founder of Azra

WhatIdo

I am a handbag designer and a chiropractor. I started fostering my love for design and began making my own backpacks. Through the power of word of mouth, it eventually became something much bigger.

Mymilestone moment

I showcased my collection at Fashion Forward a couple of years ago which really helped establish the brand. It was then that I also launched my website and had my first professional photoshoot.

Upnext

The master plan is to create the coolest, most comfortable slides you've ever worn. I also plan on making clothing – most importantly desertfriendly and modest basics.
