We had the good fortune of connecting with Alexandria Carroll and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Alexandria, is there something that you feel is most responsible for your success?
I’ve learned so much on my journey, especially the importance of failure, taking constructive criticism, and having the freedom to create. Failing has made me realize I can’t do everything right, but that doesn’t mean I can’t learn from it and move onto something else. Having creative freedom allows me to make things that make me truly happy, which adds passion and authenticity to my work – no matter what it is! It’s so fulfilling to do something that you love; that’s what resonates with others.

Can you open up a bit about your work and career? We’re big fans and we’d love for our community to learn more about your work.
I know a lot of people probably don’t consider fashion art, but I definitely do. It is an art to get something old and make it new, it is an art to make something from nothing. Getting to where I am now has been an adventure filled with many ups and downs and lots of 12 hour days. I honestly wouldn’t change it for the world. I am not only proud of myself for overcoming my life challenges but I want to be an example to people that you can achieve anything your heart desires with hard work.

If you had a friend visiting you, what are some of the local spots you’d want to take them around to?
I have lived in Phoenix my entire life and I absolutely love downtown. There is so many hidden gems and events that are always going on. Plus all the beautiful artwork on the walls. It is a site to see!

Who else deserves some credit and recognition?
My friends and family deserve the most recognition. My three biggest supporters are my children! They shout out to the world everything I am doing in my business and even contribute Ideas. We all four make a really amazing team! Then next group of people would be my three friends Autmn, Ryan and Falecia. They help build me up when I am feeling down and support events and products that I make. Lastly I would thank my mom. She has supported me in the lowest point of my career to know my highest. She has watched my kids, pushed me to keep working and taught me to never give up.
