THE STORY BEHIND TBJ.
Jamie Ugen, young entrepreneur and founder of company TBJ, Touched by Jae is a recent graduate of Middlesex University. She studied Product Design and immediately started looking for a job as any graduate would do. After numerous applications and a couple of interviews, all to no avail, Jamie started wondering what else she could be doing. She felt quite useless, bored and had long run out of money. She was naturally a creative person but had tried some creative ventures in the past that had not turned out as successful as she had wished.
So what happened?
Out of boredom, one day, she had sewn a dress for herself. She had a show to go to and she wasn't planning on buying a dress so decided to quickly make something with an over locker and sew it by hand. She didn’t even have a sewing machine at that time. When she went for the show,she had gotten a lot of compliments on her outfit and it made her think. A friend of hers, CEO of Jezreel Designs(www.jezreeldesigns.com) suggested that she sew for people, why not? So she decided to try it out and was able to get a sewing machine from her friends. Her mum, being a seamstress in her early days, taught her a lot about the craft. To her surprise, she found that a lot of people had faith in her skills, the orders started coming in and haven’t stopped till this day. With her skills in photography also, she’d combined the two and created TBJ, Touched by Jae.
