Have you faced any challenges along the way?

Loads! The fashion industry isn’t known for being a particularly supportive one, so I often felt quite lonely; getting ahead felt like an uphill battle. When I pivoted, founding The Vendeur, I had to overcome a lot of self-confidence and self-doubt. Issues I am still working through now. I guess my biggest challenge has been getting over myself!

What one thing do you believe has been a major factor in you achieving success?  

Can I have two? Passion and a strong supporting team, I can’t decide which is more important. I really love what I do, which of course helps when things get stressful or scary. However, I always credit my partner and friends with giving me the boost I need. No one has ever said ‘maybe you should just play it safe’. They always tell me to go for it, and in some cases ‘what’s taking you so long!’ I am a notorious procrastinator, so I need accountability buddies.
