We were lucky to catch up with Pinkk recently and have shared our conversation below.

Pinkk, thanks for joining us, excited to have you contributing your stories and insights. Let’s start with a story that highlights an important way in which your brand diverges from the industry standard.

One way my brand differs is by representing my culture and community. I rarely ever see Mexican or Chicana women in this industry and I want to be the person who changes that. I showcase my culture in everything i do, which is something I don’t often see from other stylists. This is personal to me because I want to inspire and uplift my community while showing that we belong at every level of this industry. Whether that be as a stylist, model, business owner, or all of the above.

As always, we appreciate you sharing your insights and we’ve got a few more questions for you, but before we get to all of that can you take a minute to introduce yourself and give our readers some of your back background and context?

I started off as a dresser for Arizona Fashion Week, where I was paired with a designer who really connected with my vision. She trusted me to style and accessorize her models, and after seeing my work, she knew she wanted to collaborate with me beyond that event. At that point, I realized fashion was an art to me, and something I could turn into a business.

I connected with other stylists, who taught me the ins and outs of the industry, and I began doing collaborations to build my portfolio.

During that time, I was pushing people out of their comfort zones and using fashion as a way to express their individuality. I approach each project with that same mindset. With that, people started to recognize and appreciate my work, and that’s when I started getting hired to be a professional stylist.

I want potential clients to know that my brand is so much more than just putting outfits together—it’s about creating looks that push those boundaries and making people feel unique and beautiful in ways that they couldn’t see or do before.

Beyond just creating looks, I’ve been intentional about marketing myself and maintaining professionalism throughout my career. Styling looks may seem easy and effortless, but it takes significant time, energy, and investment—something I’m always willing to give because I love what I do.

Any stories or insights that might help us understand how you’ve built such a strong reputation?

Honestly, just being unique and remaining authentic. I won’t ever try to fit in or fall into trends or patterns. I think that’s what people want to see in this industry and they can appreciate it more than cookie-cutter work they’ve seen be done multiple times in the past.

Is there something you think non-creatives will struggle to understand about your journey as a creative?

Often times I will get told from non-creatives that if I wanted an easier life i should just resort back to a mundane lifestyle. Meaning, getting a regular 9-5 job and putting my business on the back burner until “I’m ready” to fully invest.

But honestly, no one is ever ‘fully ready’. Had I decided to wait on my career, I would not have been where I’m at today. I wouldn’t feel the joy and passion in what I do everyday. I don’t regret anything I’ve done and even though it’s hard and it’s taking time to get to where I want, it’s 100% worth it.

My advice is to never take advice from someone who isn’t where you’d want to be in life yourself.
