More than 10 years ago, the bubbly, effervescent and very creative Shen-Tel Lee, 41, was often seen at fashion parties and social events as she built two accessories brands, Bowerhaus (with sister Elizabeth Lee-Yong) and Sereni & Shentel (with fellow Kuchingite Sereni Linggi).

Both brands flourished and they are as colourful as their co-founder.
