From culture to craft: Jrew Creations

At Jrew Creations, creativity comes in two forms: golden Jamaican patties and hand-stitched crochet. Co-founders Andrew Foster and Jaime Aludos built a business that blends their passions and heritages - Andrew’s family of cooks and Jaime’s love for crochet, inspired by her great-grandmother. Their journey hasn’t been easy. When their first storefront flooded, they watched helplessly front row, eating spring rolls as water filled the space - a memory so vivid they haven’t touched one since. But from that moment, they rebuilt stronger than ever.Now, their store has become more than a space for food and fashion. It’s a place where communities collide. Patty lovers discover crochet art, crochet fans leave with warm patties, and strangers connect who might’ve crossed paths before but never met.In this conversation, Andrew and Jaime share how they built something beautifully unconventional - a business stitched together with food, art, and a deep love for community.Follow the podcast on Instagram and TikTokFollow Sam Jen on Instagram
