Born and raised in the Philippines, Jemina Ty has always had a love for the ocean and a passion for sustainable fashion. As her business was expanding, so did her ambitions. Initially, Ty’s goal was to combine these two passions and create a bikini label. She couldn’t imagine that her long-shot venture would put her on the Forbes CEO Under 30 list one day.
