Her first step in achieving that was to bring awareness to ocean pollution. Created in 2015, she started with an expansive variety of swimwear, surf wear and yoga wear, each piece was carefully crafted in Bali out of recycled fabrics and ocean waste.

Inspired by her move to Bali in 2016, much of the island’s scenery and lifestyle was incorporated into the brand’s limited collections. Influenced by the people of Bali’s focus on the wellness of body and nature, TikiYogi began a focused initiative to use eco-conscious and sustainable materials and other recycled materials so that they may continue to strive for the sole use of eco-friendly products, without risking quality over mass production. Each collection is designed with a classic and timeless design and modest cut that includes vibrant prints that mix and match, reversible bikinis, one-pieces and bodysuits, high rise bikini bottoms, eco-tights and day and night summer dresses. The brand is leading the way by using a techno-fabric made of a ECONYL® regenerated Nylon that turns waste into fashion. The swimwear was featured on Condé Nast Traveler. Also, the new Capsule Organic Japanese Cotton and Linen Collection.
