Nadia Lee, could not be further from the world of fashion when she was an aspiring diplomat traveling in the Far East. Having attained her degree in International Relations from Scripps College, Nadia was exploring the globe and visiting a metal works factory when she came across a little girl, playing with make-shifts bracelets from tiny metal springs. As Nadia watched, she felt an immediate connection; she too loved to make pretty things for herself when she was young.

It was then Nadia realized what really inspired her, was the search for such connections. Seeing jewelry as a way to bring people together, she launched Adia Kibur by the age of twenty-one to renew her creative passion. The company’s initial collection was met with immediate success; a line of metal-springs bracelets, with its materials and approach so unique, the designs soon captured the attention of major buyers, cementing the brand as one of the most trend forward companies on the marketplace.

Building on its initial success, Adia Kibur has since evolved exponentially to become the premier full-service private label jewelry fulfillment company in the United States. Providing trend forecasting, brand consultation, design and manufacturing services for department stores such as Nordstrom and Macy’s, chain stores such as Urban Outfitters, and e-commerce companies such as Shopbop and Stitchfix.

Adia Kibur was honored with the Inc. 5,000 List of America’s Fastest-Growing Companies in 2008, in addition, Nadia was awarded the Small Business Association’s Young Entrepreneur of the Year in 2002, and received the Collaboration Award from Vistage Worldwide, Inc. in 2012.  

Looking beyond jewelry, Nadia continues to focus her aspiration of connecting people through fashion. Seeing technology as an obvious though challenging option, after years of research and development, Nadia is thrilled to introduce her latest foray into the world of technology with her co-founder.
