Shelly Agronin was born in 1980 in Kiev, Ukraine, and in 1992 immigrated with her family to Israel. She studied industrial design and earned a B.Des. degree from the Bezalel Academy of Art and Design in Jerusalem (2004). Upon graduating, she began working for leading product design companies, specializing in classic product design for high-tech, consumer electronics, medical devices, toys, food, cosmetics, and other industries.
Shelly’s favorite technology in the last decade has been metal bending. Even after developing hundreds of products, the process of transitioning from a two-dimensional layout to a three-dimensional product amazed her every time. This love led to the beginning of her own metal origami brand named WALLABY. Through Wallaby's folding products, she aims to share this experience with her customers.
Happily married and raising three daughters.
