Founder + Creative Lead
BRODY SHORES
Brody is an undergraduate of industrial engineering with a Masters of Interior Design whose passion for ‘all-things-furniture’ got the best of him! He loves using the inspiration and networking of 11 years in Asia to constantly develop new product ideas, some good ones and some ‘questionable’ ones. If he is not in the office, he is probably burning on a beach somewhere because he forgot sunscreen.
eCommerce Lead
SIWA BUAKLEE
Siwa is an undergraduate of hospitality systems management and currently achieving a Master of Data Science. He is your quintessential SE Asian guy who loves all things dealing with and involving information technology, which is great because he is the only person on the team that does! If he is not in the office, he is probably out having his favorite hourly snack of Thai chicken and rice.
China Production Lead
SHOABIN LIN
Shaobin is an undergraduate of computer sciences with an emphasis on electronic technology design. He has been a team member of BD since the start, and is currently flying solo in China coordinating all things production and sourcing for current and new product.

YVES CHEN
Yves is an undergraduate of and holds a Master of Hospitality Management who self-taught himself interior and product design over the course of his career. He has designed and managed luxury hospitality projects across SE Asia, but has more fun leading the design of furniture and lifestyle product for our team.
