Eve Blossom is the Founder and CEO of Lulan™ Artisans, designers and producers of sustainable
textiles that elegantly merge original contemporary designs with centuries-old weaving techniques.
She works in partnership with more than 800 weavers, spinners, dyers and finishers -
in small workshops in Cambodia, India, Laos, Thailand and Vietnam.
Blossom seeks to empower these artisans through an economic engine and celebrate their spirit, talents and traditions - giving them a stronger voice for their future. Lulan Artisans integrates Blossom's design sensibilities with her yearning to create social change and the company is charting new territory as a for-profit social venture. Lulan works closely with these individuals, paying sustainable wages, creating economic stability, growing local economies and assisting in other social benefits - such as education, housing, healthcare - as well as opening up new markets for their products.
Frequent lecturer on design and social change, trained-architect Eve Blossom is not only committed to environmentally responsible design, she is also intent on changing business methodologies to create economic options for artisans whether in Southeast Asia or in the U.S. She received her Masters in Architecture from Tulane University and has undertaken graduate studies in Business Administration.
