How did you get into digital content creation?
We both have a B.A in Business Marketing, so saw Instagram & social media as a great way to build a 'resume' to show clients when applying for jobs (way back when in 2013). We began in the infancy phase of social media & Instagram so were able to grow very quickly and establish ourselves in the industry quickly.

What is a typical day in your life?
At the moment it looks very different than it used to. Normally it would involve a lot of emails, scrolling through our SM accounts, responding to our followers/DM's/Comments etc, followed by shoots and press showings or events and meetings. These days it'll a little more chill, but with a side of babies & planning new businesses. It's a lot of monotonous tasks, and a lot less glamorous than the glossy shots you see on Instagram, or videos you see on Tiktok.
...
The best and most challenging part of your job?
The best part is being able to work for yourself. The freedom that's involved in choosing your own hours, being able to be a mum and have a great work life balance. The worst part is the exact same. You have to learn to be disciplined and motivate yourself (which we definitely do struggle with post Covid & lockdowns).

Your go-to outfit
A blazer or trench coat, trousers, a white tee & either sneakers or a killer pair of stilettos.
...
Who is you style icon?
We honestly don't have a style icon per-se. We just love getting inspiration from all creators/stylish women and interpreting that into our own personal style. For us, someone who is stylish knows themselves inside and out, and dresses that way!

Our digital camera, emotional support water bottle (lol) and chewing gum.
