Compassion & Fashion: Survivorlicious

Lizz Russell is a celebrity fashion and couture designer based in Southern California, originally from sunny San Diego. She discovered her passion for fashion early, learning to sew at age 12 and later studying Fashion Design at Mesa College.

She began her career designing evening wear and soon gained the attention of celebrities across the U.S. Her growing Lizz Russell Collection now includes custom Rose Handbags, Royal Tees, and Jewelry—each piece crafted with detail, vibrant colors, and signature flair. Her handbags, named after desserts like "Strawberry Shortcake," are handmade with silk flowers and elegant finishes.

Lizz’s journey took a dramatic turn when she was diagnosed with Guillain-Barré Syndrome (GBS) and Bell’s Palsy. Despite the health challenges, she overcame them with resilience and now advocates for GBS awareness through speaking engagements. She’s received numerous honors, including the Civic Leadership Award.

In addition to designing, Lizz is also an author. Her book, Smiling On The Inside, shares her powerful story of surviving GBS and inspires readers facing their own challenges. Today, she continues to travel, design, and motivate others through her story of strength and perseverance.
