I grew up watching my mother press perfect seams on dresses she would never wear outside the house — beautiful
things saved for someday. As an Asian woman in America, I learned early that ambition was something you whispered,
not shouted. You worked twice as hard, smiled through the micro-moments, and rarely took up space.

Luxe Intimates is my way of taking up space — elegantly. After years in retail and e-commerce, I kept seeing the
same gap: women wanted to feel confident before they clicked buy, not after a box arrived. I wanted
virtual try-on that respected privacy, AI styling that sounded human, and a catalog curated with intention — not
algorithmic noise.

Starting a business as an Asian woman meant navigating rooms where I was often the only one who looked like me.
I learned to translate my ideas twice — once for clarity, once for credibility. I funded early prototypes between
consulting contracts, tested AR try-on with friends over FaceTime, and rebuilt the Shopify catalog line by line
on sleepless weekends.
