🏔 Born amidst the majestic peaks of Tibet, raised in the vibrant tapestry of Nepal, and now nestled within the embrace of Berkeley for 25 years, I am Tenzing Jigme—a Tibetan soul who has traversed continents, weaving a story of strength, passion, and human connection.

🛫 In 2001, I took a leap of faith at the Ashby Flea Weekend Market in the Bay Area, where the seeds of Tenzing Collections were sown. From humble beginnings, I cultivated a haven for handcrafted goods, supporting small cottage industries and celebrating the beauty of cultural heritage.

🌟 A proud moment arrived in 2008 as I opened the doors of my physical shop in San Anselmo City, California. Amidst the joy of achievement, I embraced the risks that came with it, knowing that my family back in Nepal depended on my success.

👐 Every piece showcased in my shop carries the spirit of collaboration and the stories of skilled artisans who pour their passion into each creation. Through these connections, I have woven a tapestry of cultural appreciation and celebration.

🌈 For 25 years, Berkeley has embraced me as one of its own—an embodiment of resilience and unwavering pursuit of dreams. From the peaks of Tibet to the alleys of Nepal, the bustling cities of India to the dynamic streets of Berkeley, my journey continues, offering the possibility of creating a more vibrant, inclusive world.

💪 This is my story—a tapestry woven with love, determination, and the beauty of human connection. Through Tenzing Collections, I have preserved heritage, empowered artisans, and nurtured a community that cherishes the threads of culture.
