ABOUT THE FOUNDER

Born and raised in Singapore, Stephanie spent most of her adult life in the U.S. where she trained as an architect and worked as a design professional for many years before returning to Singapore with her husband and two young children.

She loves design and working with different materials and scale and learnt sewing and embroidery from her grandmother around the age of 12.. Having designed buildings, furniture collections and also worked a short stint for a well-known fashion brand, she believes design has tremendous potential to create value in the marketplace while remaining human-centred and grounded in making life better for all. While on maternity leave from the birth of her second child, she took up jewellery making and found it liberating designing at such an intimate scale. She started EDEN + ELIE after leaving her full-time consulting job in 2015.
