No matter how organised you are, I think we can all agree, moving house doesn't always go to plan (take it from the gal who swears by making to-do lists for everything).

WHO'S THAT GIRL? | AN INTERVIEW WITH KNITWEAR DESIGNER CLARE MOUNTAIN

In a world of successful startup stories and shiny social media profiles, you rarely hear about what it takes to make your dreams happen. I’m always so inspired by ambitious, talented women who follow their creative passions, and thankfully I get to meet and work with such wonderful people on a daily basis.  This means a lot of open, honest, career related conversations are usually shared - and I can’t begin to tell you how helpful this has been for my own creative journey.

I wanted to find a way to share these honest conversations here on Life Of Zola, in hopes that they would inspire others to pursue what they love, despite the uncertainty or resistance of daily life. So, today I want to share with you the first Who’s That Girl interview - a segment on the blog where we chat with these brilliant, creative women about what motivates and inspires them.
