Oorbee Roy
Textile Designer and President
Oorbee Roy, 32, is resurrecting a dying art form. One memorable summer day on the Jersey shore 20 years ago, Oorbee watched her mother draw an Alpona design in the sand. The ancient artistic practice comes from India, where women in some parts decorate the floor with geometric and floral patterns to mark religious and festive occasions. Oorbee became hooked on the art form and added her own modern twists to the designs. In 2002, she learned that Alpona was a dying tradition, and that fact motivated her to start her business, OM Home, so she could introduce the art form to a larger, global audience. The company sells colorful pillows and table linens embroidered with Oorbee's modernized patterns, and she hopes to expand into bed linens and eco-friendly products next year. Her line of home accessories is made by Indian artisans near her familial home in India to ensure authenticity. To learn more about how Oorbee is reinventing Alpona, check out this week’s Young & Professional Profile Read full article »
