Esther Wallace is an artist, turned athlete, turned entrepreneur who created Playa Society in 2018. Imagine never wanting to play basketball, growing up as a 6’1 kid in the city where the game was invented, Springfield, MA. Well, that was Esther, Until she fell in love with the sport as a sophomore in high school. She earned a Division I scholarship after her first 2-years of basketball, then went on to play, coach, and earn a master’s in marketing while overseas in England. 

But, before basketball, design was life. So, after she retired from the game, Esther went back to creating. Playa Society began in a basement apartment in Boston, MA – made to redefine "female athlete" and to create the culture of women's sports that we deserve, rooted in hype + recognition.
