This week I’m speaking with Amber Farr. As a clothing designer and CEO Amber will tell you her primary goal is to spark joy, but don’t let her modest demeanor fool you.

A move that helped to define what would become the influencer economy. Her natural business sense is eclipsed only by her gift for design, which has enabled her to create a distinct look that is often imitated but never duplicated, though many brands have tried.
