Where Every Stitch Creates Opportunity.

Refugee Artisan Initiative partners with refugee and immigrant women to build skills, launch small businesses, and craft sustainable products that empower communities and protect our planet.

Before joining RAI, Tessa worked in Seattle’s Lake City neighborhood, helping small businesses thrive and promoting community building through economic development. She is excited to continue serving this vibrant community, especially the women who are building lives and businesses through RAI’s mission.
