Alright, Sherri thanks for taking the time to share your stories and insights with us today. Let’s kick things off with your mission – what is it and what’s the story behind why it’s your mission?
As a fashion designer and wardrobe stylist. The story behind my mission, would be, to provide efficient, affordable, fashionable, custom clothing long term. The goal, would be to set forth a foundation in fashion, that will elevate in all levels of creativity. Through artist, creatives, and entrepreneurs such as myself.
Sherri, 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?
Since I was about 11 years of age. Fashion has always been interesting, from the things people wore in magazines, TV shows, or movies. I used to love to just look at different things and get a feel of what they like. Sometimes I’d sketch the things I seen, and bring it to reality. My favorite things to view would be publications, such as jet magazine, and teen magazines. And this passion just lives on, I still find myself going into publications and pulling ideas or inspiration from the smallest things.
What’s a lesson you had to unlearn and what’s the backstory?
Some things that I had to unlearn, was rules. Rules are just not my thing, never has been. And often people in the fashion or any industry rather, they like to go forth with a set of rules. Something I tell myself, is discipline is ok. But it is often better when the rules are just not taken forth, when doing your own thing. I’m not saying that it is a bad thing. But rules, are definitely something I had to unlearn.
Can you talk to us about how your side-hustle turned into something more.
Being a fashion designer and wardrobe stylist, was definitely a hustle. It took off slowly after 2 years. I had to develop clientele, and learn the market strategies of the pros and cons of the fashion world. Although it changes daily. I’ve dealt with the milestones, by being consistent in my work, and putting forth many risk and efforts to my career.
