Jenny Krauss

Several years after earning a degree in fine arts, Jenny Krauss recognized that her artistic endeavors had limited reach within a niche audience. Desiring a path that melded creativity with meaningful interaction, Jenny transitioned into the world of fair-trade commerce. In 2005, she embarked on a journey with artisans in Bolivia, cultivating a vision for textile craftsmanship. At a trade show in 2007, Jenny's encounter with a representative from the Trade Commission of Peru catalyzed her fascination with embroidery from Ayacucho. This encounter marked the inception of a transformative partnership focused on sustainable employment for artisans. Today, over 800 artisans benefit from steady employment through this long-standing collaboration
