SS: Tell us about your career prior to starting Coveteur. Prior to starting Coveteur I was a freelance stylist. I had other stints (public relations, marketing) but that was the one that truly stuck.

SS: What was the inspiration behind starting Coveteur? It started off as a passion project; doing something that we found to be inspiring to ourselves and that we hoped would be inspiring to others.

SS: Thinking back to the first few months, were there any entrepreneurial obstacles you had to overcome? YES! I think if I knew everything I know now back then, I would have been way more hesitant to start a business instead of just diving right in. For me personally, learning the financial side of running a business, keeping track of expenses, and getting used to how much I was traveling were some obstacles that come to mind!

SS: When did you realize this passion of yours could turn into a successful business? About 2 or 3 months into Coveteur, people started asking us if they could advertise on the site. After we worked with about 2 or 3 partners on custom content pieces we decided to give it a go full time and turn our passion project into a business.

SS: Why do you think Coveteur has become a go-to destination for women seeking inspiration? I think Coveteur takes people and topics that could otherwise seem intimidating and we make them approachable. We try to teach and inspire our readers instead of talking at or down to them and I think people respond to that.

SS: If you could give your 20-year-old self advice, what would it be? Go to class!
