Meet the Founders

Meet our founders, Jessica and Michelle. Two friends who set out to elevate surf and swimwear.
Fueled by their mutual passion for the ocean and a shared vision to revolutionize surfwear for women, they created Bluhour — a tribute to modern surfwear that seamlessly blends performance with a touch of elegance and grace.
ABOUT JESSICA

Originally from Maryland, Jessica moved to New York City in 2013 to pursue her Dental degrees at NYU and Columbia University. By day, she is a dental surgeon in Manhattan, but before the city wakes up, you’ll catch her cruising to Rockaway Beach for early morning dawn patrol sessions. Surfing gives her that much-needed zen in the midst of the city’s chaos. When she’s not dancing on waves or saving teeth, you can catch her running in Central Park with her fluffy pup, Niko, playing tennis, or traveling the world to surf the best longboarding waves.

ABOUT MICHELLE

Michelle was born in Sydney and raised along the Western Pacific coast in Los Angeles. After college, she moved to the East Coast where she pursued fashion design at the Parsons New School in New York City. With over a decade of experience in the fashion industry, working at esteemed luxury womenswear brands, Michelle brings a wealth of industry knowledge and insight to Bluhour. When she’s not immersed in design, you’ll often find her seaside, reveling in beach vacations and the serenity of coastal life. Her favorite vacation spot is Taormina.
