Elizabeth Ngo was born in the East Bay and raised in Venice, California. She has been involved in the arts all her life, beginning with pottery as a child, then exploring techniques in fabric dying and clothing design, and eventually taking classes in metalsmithing and beadwork. Her innate good taste and sense of style have enabled her love of color and design to find expression in many mediums, consistently creating innovative work just ahead of developing trends.
In the late 1980s, Elizabeth began representing Los Angeles designers and artists by bringing their wares to the Markets in New York City. It was a great job that afforded her the opportunity to investigate creative possibilities while finishing her degree in sociology at UCLA. It was not long before Elizabeth began designing clothing and accessories, launching her own Elizabeth Ngo line, which reflected her love of rich textures and materials. It was on this journey that Elizabeth discovered the Antique Buttons, finding they provided a perfect accent to her signature Bohemian look. She found that even one unique button could set off a belt, necklace, or garment in an amazing way.
