Emlyn Roesler
Emlyn is a Filipina-American and a Texas native. The idea for soapmaking started in 2013 when she wanted to make presents for Christmas, and Solid Soaps came to fruition in April 2018. Prior to soap making, she was an advanced practice nurse in cardiology, and she left her nursing career of 14 years in April 2021 to grow Solid Soaps full-time. Emlyn is active in her AAPI and local community. She is the event champion for the Greater Austin Asian Chamber of Commerce (GAACC) Women’s Club, a member of Austin Business Women (ABW), winning ABW’s Artist of the Year in 2021, and has helped curate local artisan markets in Austin. Solid Soaps offers private soap making lessons in her studio, affectionately nicknamed “Stu,” and you can find her soaps in local, small shops in Austin, as well as online at solidsoaps.com.
