From 1996 to 2007, our esteemed CEO immersed herself in the fashion and entertainment industries, dedicating over a decade to her craft. In 2008, when the global financial crisis hit, Amore, like many others, faced a professional setback, being downsized from an executive position in the architectural & design industries. However, her resilience shone through as she spent the following years diligently building her client base. In 2010, with a modest investment of a few thousand dollars, AOPR was born.
