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.
