We’re excited to introduce you to the always interesting and insightful Felix Fox. We hope you’ll enjoy our conversation with Felix below.

Alright, Felix thanks for taking the time to share your stories and insights with us today. Have you been able to earn a full-time living from your creative work? If so, can you walk us through your journey and how you made it happen? Was it like that from day one? If not, what were some of the major steps and milestones and do you think you could have sped up the process somehow knowing what you know now?

Yes for the past 4 years or so i have been! I’ve always been a creative type ever since i was little. My escape from the real life has been drawing and watching movies. Which later on sparked an enthusiasm to learn more about it and to get a degree out of it. I studied graphic design and media but i have collected my knowledge by skipping classes and got skills by just doing the job and creating relationships with different people later on to be clients. I started my beauty influencer journey 5 years ago and that definitely helped me to get noticed. And i believe that being seen is in these days a social currency and that helped me propel to have some leverage when it came to making deals. A year ago i went to the LA and my life changed. Somehow everything fell together and i started shooting a few Selling Sunset Stars and i worked with Jason Derulo, Mark Whalberg, the Kardashian Doctor and famous influencers & youtubers. But I’ve been teaching and expanding proactively since i was 17 so i believe in working smart while listening to your gut feeling.

Felix , 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 am Felix, im 25 and im a beauty influencer, professional MUA and a celebrity videographer / photographer.. Or how i love to call it: a one man show! I come from a small country from Europe called Slovenia. Im also a social media manager for brands and institutions. I love my work because it is so dynamic and different but at the same time so intertwined. I think my social media presence as a guy that does makeup especially in Europe makes me stand out which helped me so much. But at the same time it has been a double edged sword for sure. But Im so proud of myself to have given myself permission to be myself even tho I struggled and still do in my country just by being who i am so publicly. I have learned to just love the journey.

What do you think helped you build your reputation within your market?

I think its crucial to be a hard working, reliable, well skilled but most importantly a kind person! How you show up is so much more crucial anything. Talent is great, but attitude is everything.

For you, what’s the most rewarding aspect of being a creative?

I used to be so focused on goals, results and when i got it, it was and still is full filling but i had to learn the WHY and to enjoy the journey. That changed everything
