I was born in Jambi, Sumatra, in 1973, the youngest of 5 children. I had such a lovely childhood, which I spent in several different cities as my father was posted there. The good thing about moving so often was I had the chance to see the beauty of these places including the variety of their birds and ducks, and others animals which have always amazed me. After finishing my education, I worked for a short period in Jakarta. I then married an academic researcher, who shared my passion for nature. We were so young and had no home of our own and we wished one day we could buy a house with the money we earned ourselves. So, we decided to form a business selling products inspired by nature, created out of our imaginations, and fuelled by our passion. We started very small a few years back with a lot of optimism. Although still small, the business has now made it possible for us to own a house and to employ many artisans around us....
