Hello, I’m Lisa
Welcome to my blog.
I’m an apparel designer and started my own brand, Mien Studios, in 2015. I’m a mother of two young kids, a long-time fashion and beauty enthusiast, an avid home cook, and a novice hobby gardener. Now in my 40s and busier than ever, this blog is that cozy corner where I can slow down and share my journey to graceful and healthy aging, which to me encompasses fitness for a stronger body, gentle wellness for happiness, nurtured relationships with people I love, and time for things that bring simple and lasting joy such as maintaining relationships and friendships, home, gardening, cooking, dinner parties, and of course, beauty and self care.
I have a down to earth and reflective journaling style. Professionally, I’ve built two successful small businesses from my garage through years of incredible sacrifice and hard work. I also teach at city colleges to share my knowledge and experiences with the future generation of designers. I talk candidly about my entrepreneurial journey here and also on my YouTube channel.
Perhaps one day my children, Grey and Elle, will find this blog and delight in seeing the other facets of my personality that exist beyond them knowing me as their mother. This blog is my love letter to them.
