Emily Daccarett splits her time between two creative careers - one in fashion and one in music. Where she can’t fully express herself in one, she expresses herself in the other.
Emily has her own fashion brand, and we discussed how she started her career in the fashion industry, which lent itself to starting a second career in music. We discuss how she manages both, how she creates opportunities for herself, and her best advice for anyone looking to start in creative industries.

“Just reach out. You never know the answer.”
