What was your dream when you left your country, Japan, to go and live in the US?

I was very ambitious and wanted to become a very successful businesswoman who would travel all over the world. It was my dream to have a meeting in Hong Kong one day and Singapore the next. I just had never imagined that I would have my company to do that.

How did you start your journey as an entrepreneur?

When I was 20 years old, a friend of my boyfriend at that time came to us to ask if we wanted to start importing furniture from Indonesia. In the early 1990s not many people were travelling to far-away countries such as Indonesia and India, so, we thought this would be a great opportunity. My parents gave us the initial capital investment to start the business. I got married and received the first shipment at the age of 21.
