Skye Yayoi Drynan is the Founder, CEO, & Creative Director of House of Skye.
“I believe in the power of reinvention & fighting for your dreams. It’s been an incredible journey: from humble beginnings, I worked in my dad’s gift shop, then waited tables while earning a college scholarship. After graduating from university I began my professional career at entry level, in a call center. After years of hard work & struggles in a cut throat industry, I ultimately became one of the largest funders of biotech innovation globally. Now I am pursuing my creative dreams in fashion & music. I had the courage to shatter glass ceilings through hard work & perseverance & so can you! Sky’s the limit!” - Skye
