Today we’d like to introduce you to Rae Amarullah.
Rae, we appreciate you taking the time to share your story with us today. Where does your story begin?
Hello,
I’m Rae. I am a supply chain professional & consultant; and also the proud owner & lead designer of a social enterprise.
My early childhood was in Indonesia in a big city – Jakarta. But I really grew up in Houston.
I moved to Houston when I was 11 – graduated from Humble High. I was what was known as a dork or nerd; what might now proudly be labeled a geek.
I moved back to Indonesia & although I was quite focused on working in job titles, my style & spirit remained very self-deterministic and entrepreneurial.
From a very young age, and throughout my youth, I always loved designing and making my own clothes and accessories. However, this is just a foreshadowing of the story to come full circle.
It’s surprising a little bit to see where I am today as Bali was so close and so open and empty back then; I really could picture myself just being a beach bum.
However, I moved back to Houston to complete university. I was a very ambitious student getting a business degree so I was thinking about career, but I still remained open to opportunity and change & chances to connect & give to the community.
