Meet Vivi

Hi, I’m Vivi! I was born and raised in a small town in China, with dreams of exploring the world since I was a little girl. At 18, I moved to Canada to study at the University of Waterloo. After graduating, I began working as an actuary at Deloitte, where I had the chance to travel frequently, mainly across the U.S. Though I enjoyed the excitement of travel, I longed to build something of my own that felt deeply meaningful.

In 2024, after stepping away from the corporate world for two years, I founded silkvivi. This journey took me through a period of self-discovery, including a transformative experience in Bali, where I trained as a yoga teacher. My mother’s family is from Jiangsu Province, a region famous for its silk, and I grew up surrounded by the beauty and tradition of this remarkable fabric. Inspired by my heritage, I wanted to create a brand that brings the elegance and benefits of silk to the world.

With silkvivi, my goal is to share a part of my cultural heritage and create something beneficial, sustainable, and luxurious for people everywhere. Thank you for being part of this journey—it means the world to me!
