I definitely didn't grow up thinking about running my own business. To be honest with you, I didn't even think it was a possibility for me. I'd never thought of myself as an entrepreneurial person, but what I did have was passion and drive and an idea audacious enough that I could change the world. when I became disenchanted with the companies that I was working for. I recognized that I could make a difference. I started looking at my options of what type of business I might want to run, maybe a salon, maybe a spa. Those were the areas that I was comfortable in. After my partner and I moved to the UK. I began taking 'make your own' skincare workshops, and I realized that I could make my own products! Taking those first leaps into mixing up my own concoctions, adding micas and colours, and experimenting with changing skincare formulations to makeup - I knew that I was in the right place - it was so exciting, and empowering! That feeling, coupled with the fact that I knew that the cosmetic industry needed a major overhaul in sustainability and packaging, meant that I knew I had something new to offer in a crowded market. I'm incredibly proud of all the great work that we've done at Elate in raising awareness around the products that we use every day and how making those small changes can really make a difference.
