Katerina Gasset
Owner & Founder of Valija Studios | Digital Marketing Specialist | Entrepreneur
I’ve been sewing since I was 11 years old - long before I ever built companies, coached entrepreneurs, or sold real estate.
Creating with fabric was my first language. During some of the darkest chapters of my childhood, sewing became my lifeline - a way to design hope from scraps and stitch healing into every piece.
At 15, I began modeling. By 17, I was designing my own clothing. In 1977, I opened my first design shop in Hawaii. And through decades of raising nine children, building businesses, and becoming a grandmother of 13, one thing never changed:
I create with intention.
Through Create with Katerina and Valija Studios, I share handmade designs, upcycled vintage pieces, storytelling through fabric, and the art of building beauty from what already exists.
Beyond the studio, I’m also a 40+ year entrepreneur, licensed REALTOR®, business strategist, and founder of multiple companies - but creativity is where it all began.
Here, you’ll find:
- Handmade & upcycled pieces
- Sewing stories + tutorials
- Vintage-inspired designs
- A life stitched together through resilience & reinvention
Create with heart. Build with purpose. Stitch with intention.
