Alright – so today we’ve got the honor of introducing you to Andrian Hawkins. We think you’ll enjoy our conversation, we’ve shared it below.
Hi Andrian , thanks for joining us today. Earning a full time living from one’s creative career can be incredibly difficult. Have you been able to do so and if so, can you share some of the key parts of your journey and any important advice or lessons that might help creatives who haven’t been able to yet?
I’ve been blessed to make a living doing what I genuinely love. My mother was always fashion forward so I developed my love for fashion at a young age. I was fascinated with arranging colors and patterns and making them all come together. In my opinion my representation and promotion of myself played a major role in opportunities finding their way to me. To date I have styled for a variety of people and events. I am grateful to have built a relationship with a great business in the fashion industry such as Men’s Collection located in Fort Worth, TX where I have had the opportunity to utilize my talents. It is my belief that everything happens in the time God wants it to, with that being said I believe everything happened as it should have thus far. I have enjoyed this journey so far and I look forward to what is to come.
Andrian , love having you share your insights with us. Before we ask you more questions, maybe you can take a moment to introduce yourself to our readers who might have missed our earlier conversations?
I am a fashion stylist that places as much care and thought into in my clients using my gift of dressing and styling as I do myself. I style people for every occasion. Proms, weddings, funerals, videos, etc. It’s amazing to see a client’s vision come to life.
What’s worked well for you in terms of a source for new clients?
Word of mouth for sure along with promoting myself and my services.
What’s been the most effective strategy for growing your clientele?
Promotion, consistency, and utilizing opportunities to meet new people. Networking is also one of the most important methods of gaining new clientele.
