Deborah and Allie forged a friendship while studying in University of Malaya. Despite growing up an ocean apart in West and East Malaysia, they bonded over a shared passion for art, storytelling, and deep discussions into the night—two small town girls with big dreams and a lot to share.

Deborah (right) is a self-taught illustrator who has worked in branding and advertising since 2016, creating ad campaigns for regional clients and branding systems for startups; but her love for stories started young in a family of preachers and teachers, surrounded by her father's library of books since she could remember.

Allie (left) grew up with a seamstress mother, and was surrounded by fashion magazines, pattern books, and literature. She has been designing her own pieces since childhood, and then wearing them. Also a copywriter, poet, and stylist; she now works closely with her mum Elsie to bring many of the House's vision to life in a full circle moment to her childhood days.
