Tell us about your life before the venture/ leading up to your venture?
I worked full time as a CBT therapist, my style was not great but I fixed it by buying new every month. When I had my eldest child I could no longer afford to buy new, I had to make the most of my current wardrobe given the reduced maternity leave salary. So I started researching Style ideas. In my quest,I learned that there was a strong synergy between Style and wellbeing- dress good, feel good! During this time, my mum was in hospital with stage cancer. I remember going to the hospital sitting by her side while I breastfed my son- one of the hardest times of my life. But Style was my lifeline, it was what got me through. At the time, I was thinking about starting a business and during some of the hardest yet wholesome conversations with my mum, she said “life is too short, just try it!” So I did, Savvy Style launched almost a year after her death. She was the catalyst to my brand.

Give a motivational message for the audience/women who are reading this.
Style starts with you. It starts with you making a decision to change. By deciding to change, you are choosing you over anything else. We are conditioned to believe we should put others 1st, but your worth is not dependent on your ability to look after others. Focus on you 1st so that your cup will be filled and overflow to others. Style can help you feel worthy, strong and capable of creating the life of your dreams. So start by wearing ‘that’ piece you’ve been putting off, or those shoes you think are too loud. Slowly, in time you will realise they are truly & authentically you.
