About Kawasaki Disease UK

Dee Izmail, founder and chairwoman of Kawasaki Disease UK began her fight against the disease in 1993 when her daughter’s symptoms were misdiagnosed.

She has showcased her artisan pieces globally and has worked with celebrities like Beyoncé, Cher, Shania Twain, Eddy Izzard, and Warner Bros.
