Founder and Creator of Umber by J. Lenay, Jasmine was born and raised in Houston, Texas. She studied Architecture and Fashion Design at California College of the Arts in San Francisco. Now back home in Houston, she’s a proud wife and mom of two big-headed, hilarious boys who keep life exciting. When they are in school she’s pouring her heart into growing Umber, keeping her household grounded, and holding it down for her family. Jasmine’s personal battle with hirsutism began in puberty and followed her well into adulthood. She tried everything—razors, tweezers, creams, DIY masks, even electrolysis. Nothing worked long-term, and some things made it worse. For years, she felt stuck—frustrated and convinced she’d be plucking and shaving forever. Tired of quick fixes and empty promises, she spent three years diving deep into the root causes of hirsutism. She explored holistic healing and Ayurvedic methods. That research, paired with real-life experience, became the foundation of Umber by J. Lenay—an organic solution created for those who’ve been overlooked and underserved.
