Who Lee is

Eliana Oliveira, known as Lee.

Lee's story begins long before the Ateliê. An entrepreneur since 1999, that year she founded and ran a disposable-products distributor in Suzano (SP) and was, for many years, a director of the Suzano Commercial Association, always engaged in social causes. Cheerful and proactive, she is also a personal organizer, trainer and real estate investor. Each of these fronts shows up in the Ateliê:

Organize

As a professional organizer, Lee knows everything has its place. At the Ateliê that becomes curation: few products, carefully chosen and well explained.

Teach

As a trainer, she develops people. That experience is the foundation of the franchise model.

Start a business

An entrepreneur since 1999, when she founded a distribution company in Suzano (SP). In 2009 she opened Ateliê do Queijo and, over 17 years, built a brand, a product and a method.

Invest

As a real estate investor, she learned to see a place's potential. That is how she chose Juruaia.
