How attending theology school, a stint as a flight attendant and two miscarriages led Joyce Lim to finally discover her true passion for entrepreneurship and sustainable crafting How I’m Making It is a weekly series in which Tatler speaks to influential individuals about their unique journeys and what keeps them going. “I want to show you something. Do you see these dried pieces of Jesmonite that are leftover? We crumble them and put them into the jars for the next group to use. Nothing goes to waste here,” said Joyce Lim.

That artist is Joyce Orallo, an interior design graduate from LASALLE College of the Arts. Through the many years working as a crafter, from conducting painting classes to holding polymer clay earring-making workshops, she saw...
