Episode 228: Hannah Jenkinson | Founder of Knitwear Brand HJK Studio
“I strive to live in a way that feels really aligned to me. Moving to Peru I didn’t have to sacrifice any part of my vision for my business or my life.”
From England to Parsons in NYC, to working in fashion in LA, Hannah Jenkinson knew there was more to life, and her dream life could have everything she envisioned. A random invitation to attend a conference in Peru led her to thinking, "Is this where my dream business should be?" Three years later, she made it happen and opened up her business HJK Studio. In this episode, we discuss how looking abroad can make your vision easier to come to life, the struggle to get seen as a small business, and how incredible it is to build a community that shares your values.
