EP4: How an Unexpected Redundancy Gave this Designer a Push to Launch her NY Based Jewellery Brand with Katrina Vrakas

This week on the Designer2Designer podcast I am proudly joined with Katrina Vrakas the founder of Create, a jewellery brand based in New York which specialises in custom solid gold jewellery and solid gold jewellery essentials. Born and bred in Wisconsin, Katrina is from a family of entrepreneurs which ignited her entrepreneurial spirit, but it wasn’t until being made redundant unexpectedly that she began to pursue Create and make it a FT business. We discuss so much in this episode from her family’s influence, how Create was born and the challenges she has faced including the impact of COVID 19, how Katrina has had to adapt to become an entrepreneur and the vision for Creates future. I’m sure you’ll love this episode and feel super inspired to chase your dreams. -- To learn more about Katrina and CREATE: www.officialcreate.com www.instagram.com/officialcreate www.instagram.com/katrinavrakas Follow The Entry Platform for regular doses of fashion, mindset and business gems on Instagram: www.instagram.com/theentry_platform For day to day posts of my life and BTS of my brand, follow me on Instagram: www.instagram.com/iamrebeccatembo -- If you enjoyed the episode please subscribe and leave a review, help us encourage more designers and entrepreneurs to stay the course and pursue their wildest dreams!
