FEATURED CREATIVES
Each month Rosemary Local features a local creative who has a company they have developed. We ask the featured creatives about their journey from having idea, putting that idea into action and establishing their own company. We’ll talk about the challenges, as well as learnings that come with going out on your own and starting a new business. The featured creatives will also give some insight and advice to other local creatives wanting to do the same. Enjoy reading up on some awesome people doing great things, make sure to check out their website to see more.
MIXED
MILLENNIAL
Our first featured creative is Ruby Herrera, the co-owner of Mixed Millennial. Being mixed is an experience shared by many, but discussed by few, so Ruby and her co-founder, Taylor, decided to start the conversation. Mixed Millennial designs meaningful, handcrafted jewellery that represents and celebrates the mixed identity. Their goal is to connect and unite people of multiracial, multiethnic and multicultural backgrounds through their jewellery, and to drive conversation by elevating the voices of the global mixed community.
Ruby walks us through Mixed Millennial’s background, as well as the learnings and challenges that come with starting a small business - especially during a pandemic. Ruby also shares her advice for anyone hoping to start their own business.
