After many years working in corporate America as a marketing and advertising executive, I decided to follow my heart and passion and do what I love - design jewellery. Since I was a little girl, I was obsessed with accessories, especially jewellery. The memories of going through my grandmother’s and mother’s jewellery boxes are endless. As I started traveling, I collected jewellery from all over the world. Each piece has a story and a memory that I will always cherish. My husband and I ventured out for a 6 month trip, which is when my dreams became a reality. After spending many weeks in India, I finally found the perfect partner and artisans, who now make up LOTUS by leslie ann.  We have worked together since the very beginning of my journey back in December 2012. 

Humble Beginnings 

I decided to start my jewellery label while home raising my kids. I started by working weekend markets and pop-ups throughout Sydney. A few years later I started showcasing at larger expos and a pop-up at the famous Chelsea Market in New York and throughout wider Australia. It took a few years for my confidence to grow and to realize that I was building a following of loyal customers. The feedback matched my goals, which was to create a luxury brand that appealed to all walks of life. I am so proud of the brand I have created and still continue to create to this day. My supportive family and loyal cusotmers have given me the confidence and drive to be where I am today and for that I am very grateful.
