Lisa He, CEO, Borderlands Bakery

Borderlands Bakery began as a hobby for founder and CEO Lisa He. Growing up as a first-generation immigrant, the oven in her house was used for storage, not baking. It wasn’t until college that she discovered baking and the stress-relieving benefits she experienced from the process.

While pursuing her engineering degree and then a career in biotech, Lisa fostered her love for cookie decorating and education. Her social media grew steadily and organically as she shared her journey and encouraged others to do the same. Eventually, her work was noticed and she had the opportunity to be featured on Netflix, Food Network, and in many publications.

In November 2019, Lisa left her biotech career to serve the Borderlands Bakery community full-time. Today, Borderlands Bakery offers baking supplies via an online shop, a blog full of helpful tips/tricks, a YouTube channel with longer-form content, and digital courses for all skill levels.
