Alright – so today we’ve got the honor of introducing you to Elizabeth Smith. We think you’ll enjoy our conversation, we’ve shared it below.
Elizabeth, thanks for joining us, excited to have you contributing your stories and insights. We’d love to hear about when you first realized that you wanted to pursue a creative path professionally.
I have always loved outfit styling but it wasn’t until a few years ago that I thought I could channel my passion into a career. People asked me for my input on what to wear, how to style and outfit, etc I love helping people feel good about themselves and after working with a few folks, I discovered I really enjoyed the work and wanted to pursue this work beyond it being a hobby.
Elizabeth, before we move on to more of these sorts of questions, can you take some time to bring our readers up to speed on you and what you do?
I have a full-time corporate job but am a part-time stylist/content creator. I have 12+ years experience working with in women’s retail/fashion and truly love working with women to find clothes that make them feel good. Every person is different and I enjoy the process of learning about each woman’s story and helping them style clothes in a way that makes them confident.
Are there any resources you wish you knew about earlier in your creative journey?
I think it’s really helpful to find a career coach or mentor who can help you along the way. There are many social media resources out there and I think finding someone who can help you perfect your platform will be helpful in learning to grow your business. When I first started out there was a lot I did not know and seeking help from the experts really helped me learn what I needed to get better. I also think people want everything to change overnight and the reality is it takes time to grow and there is a lot you will learn through trial and error.
What’s the most rewarding aspect of being a creative in your experience?
For me, nothing is more rewarding than hearing that I have inspired or helped someone. I have followers and friends text me that they bought something I suggested. There is no better feeling than knowing I have helped someone feel more confident and better about themselves. Personally, it is extremely rewarding to put myself out there and share what I love and it brings a lot of fulfillment to my life.
