EP 18: Full-time Banker Turned Designer & Early Fashion Start-up Lessons with Sonia Shah

Hello, Designers! This week we are joined with Sonia Shah, a North Londoner who comes from a family of entrepreneurs. Sonia Shah talks to us about her upbringing influenced her work ethic, how wearing the same clothes as everyone in university sparked the idea to create a fashion brand and start-up fashion business lessons. I love talking to designers especially those who are balancing their full-time job with a business because I’ve been there and I know many of you may be in that position in yourself. Sonia also mentions how The Entry Platform has helped her business journey so far which is honestly what we’re all about. If you were in the Clothing Manufacturing Workshop 101 then you know that we gave so many gems away from specific manufacturers, to CAD illustrators and productivity tools. The whole point of this is to help you grow so thank you for your support, for tuning in weekly to the podcast, and for giving me a clear and defined purpose.
