Some may say that running your own business is similar to riding a roller coaster - a lot of ups and downs and full of surprises. One surprise for me is that Borboleta would connect me to so many wonderful, like-minded entrepreneurs all over the world. Some became my friends. Some even visited me when I lived in the US, in Italy and in Thailand. Some I haven't had a chance to meet (yet!) but came to admire. Leah is one of them.

Leah is a talented jewelry designer based in Vancouver, Canada. I asked Leah to share her experience running her own brand on our blog, because learning from and growing with each other is a fundamental belief at Borboleta.
