Satin dress Angelina inspired |
My name is Irene and I am originally from the Philippines. My family moved to the United States when I was thirteen and lived in Brooklyn, New York for 16 years. I met my husband in NYC and after living in Brooklyn, my husband and I moved to Boston. We lived in Boston for 2 years where we had our eldest son. We left Boston to live in LA for 1 year.
We found our solitude here San Diego where my younger son was born. Here in San Diego is where I started I’s Ha-Lo Ha-Lo in June 2008.
Halohalo is a tagalog word for a mixture of things. I thought this to be an appropriate name for my little business since I create various things.
I have been creating/crafting/sewing for a long time.
Friends have told me to introduce my talent to the public, but I did not quite know how and never pursued it.
Not until I visited a craft show here in San Diego one day and saw vendors who had their children with them. This really inspired me.
I thought to myself “ I can do this!”
