What You Do: Little Wex is a one-stop creative shop for your beauty and design needs that offers professional makeup artistry and affordable custom graphic design.
How Long You've Been in Business: Started in Los Angeles in 2008, now in Austin for over 1 year, so 2+ years total!
Why You Love What You Do: What a big question! Simply, I love making women (and the occasional man) look and feel beautiful. It's really cool being part of someone's special day and being one of the people who helps them look their best. I'm also a life-long product junkie... this way I get to write it off as a business expense!
Anything Else You'd Like to Tell the World: Little Wex Beauty will be hosting its first ever Open House on Thursday, August 26 at 7pm. We're doing a Back-to-School Night and talking about fall beauty trends. WING member Marisa Williams will also be on hand, showcasing Stella & Dot's fall jewelry line.
Why You Love WING: If you ever needed an example of how to use the group to the fullest, you can turn to me - I was introduced to WING by my wedding coordinator and founding member, Bethany Childress Hanson. There I met Casey Rowe (another founding member), who I introduced to my husband, who in turn she introduced to her husband who is an actor that will now be staring in my husband's play this fall. At the first WING meeting, I met my realtor (and now good friend), Kim Fry, who sold us our first home! She brought Carly Gallagher to a meeting and now Carly and I are pilates buddies. I also met Shannon Cunningham at WING and we now share a studio space with a handful of other lovely and talented ladies. Oh, and of course, last meeting I met Marisa Williams, who will now be part of my open house. Phew! Who's next?
