Interview with Emily Sugihara from wakako takagi on Vimeo.
I am thrilled to post my first blog here at Opportunity Green. I will be sharing stories about the latest trends on design+sustainability. The first post is a visual interview with Emily Sugihara, a founder of BAGGU.
When I first met Emily about two years ago, BAGGU was just opening its door to the world with an original BAGGU bag, a reusable bag made of 100% ripstop nylon in a few selected colors. At that time her vision of turning the everyday act of sustainability more accessible to people by creating products that are stylish and affordable was forward thinking and exciting. Since then BAGGU has grown. Now people can choose their BAGGU bags from a spectrum of beautiful colors and patterns as well as sizes and proportions that fit their needs.
In this interview Emily shares her insights about green entrepreneurship with Opportunity Green. I think you will find her genuine yet innovative approach towards running a successful green business inspiring.
