Hi,

My name is Ella. I am a Swiss citizen who has been living, studying, and working in the United States for the past three and a half years.

I would love to remain in Michigan. However, my current employer is unable to provide visa sponsorship. As a result, the E-2 visa represents my only path to continuing my life here. One of the key requirements of this visa is making a substantial investment in an existing business or establishing a new company in Michigan.

I am still in the process of refining the details of the business concept. However, my intention is to establish FireBloom as a company that designs inclusive fashion for all ages and every occasion. The collection will range from everyday essentials such as shirts and pants to underwear and pajamas, as well as cocktail attire and evening wear.

Customization will be a central focus of the brand. By working closely with each client, I aim to create thoughtfully designed pieces that reflect their personal style and fulfill their individual preferences. Delivering exceptional quality and a highly personalized experience will be my top priority.

Another important element of FireBloom will also be community. The name will stand for a neighbor that provides a space for gatherings, music, and arts.

Please visit https://firebloom.us/ for details about the project.

I am deeply committed to staying in Michigan where I have built a meaningful life that I love. I have laid strong personal and professional foundations that have surprised me and enriched my life in many ways. Michigan has become my home, and I hope to continue contributing to its community and economy while building my future here with my family for the long term.

Thank you for your contribution to a project that is not only a way for me to stay here in Michigan, but also means a lot to me personally. I aim to bring good things, community, and a place to belong to as many people as possible.
