Laura Low Ah Kee, left, and Shannon Savage, right.
Low Ah Kee and Savage both took on executive roles at Lululemon; Low Ah Kee went on "many journeys" during her tenure but primarily focused on merchandising, and Savage worked on the design side.
After a sabbatical partially spent in Maui surfing and kiteboarding, Low Ah Kee was catching up with Savage when inspiration struck.
