Our Story

Cherry's journey into surrogacy began with her own path to motherhood. After a difficult first pregnancy, she turned to surrogacy for her second child — a journey supported closely by her best friend and now cofounder, Jane. When Jane told her she saw a 'twinkle' in Cherry's eyes as she looked at her daughter, the name Twinkle was born. As more families began reaching out for guidance, what started as personal experience and friendship became a mission to help others grow their families.

Having grown up across China, Canada, France, and both coasts of the U.S., Cherry has always been fascinated by how people connect and support one another. Before founding Twinkle, she built a career as an investor in the consumer and technology sectors. She brings professionalism, empathy, and cross-cultural understanding to support intended parents and GCs throughout their journeys.

As a mother of two, she has a deep love for big families and spends most of her free time with her family. Cherry is also a painter and a world traveler.

Jane's journey into surrogacy began when she supported her best friend and business partner, Cherry, on her path to parenthood. Inspired by the warmth and strength of the surrogates she met, she naturally built a close community of these incredible women and connected them with intended parents. What started as a friendship and shared mission soon became a calling — leading to the founding of Twinkle in 2023 to help more families grow.

Before Twinkle, Jane worked as a Data Scientist in the tech industry. She enjoyed her work, but nothing compared to the fulfillment of helping create real, lasting impact through surrogacy. She now brings her analytical and project management skills to guide surrogates and intended parents through their journeys with care and ease.

In her free time, Jane is happiest by the ocean. She is a scuba diver and loves sharing the beauty of ocean through her underwater photography.
