**Introduce yourselves. What's your story? What do you do?**

Hi, our names are Andie and Juliana, and we are the Co-Founders of *Sainte Social*, a digital marketing agency based in Los Angeles. We also founded an event space, *Sainte Studio*, in Downtown Los Angeles, as a space where creatives and businesses can rent spaces to shoot in.
After studying graphic design in Tennessee, I moved across the country to Los Angeles, where I fell in love with branding and marketing. I have always had a deep admiration for all things design, from interior design to videography to event planning. I decided to turn that love into a career by co-starting my own creative agency, *Sainte Social*, alongside my best friend. I handle creative vision, video production, and business acquisition at *Sainte Social*. - Andie
I always knew that I would want to pursue a career in an industry where I could be creative. I started my journey in fashion and wedding photography about seven years ago. Once the pandemic hit, I reevaluated my pursuits and decided begin my own creative agency with my best friend, which is now *Sainte Social*! - Juliana

**What's your favorite part about your job?**
Other than working with my best friend, my favorite part of my job is definitely the ability to stay creative. Digital marketing is an ever-changing industry. Many aspects of marketing may never change, but living in the digital world that we live in, it's safe to say there will always be an ever-evolving approach to marketing. It's a business that definitely keeps us on our toes! - Juliana

**What advice would you give to someone interested in pursuing a career within your industry?**
Don't let what other people are doing discourage you from starting! The hardest part is deciding to start. So start that business you've been dreaming of. I'm a firm believer in, 'if you don't quit, you win.’ - Juliana

What's your morning routine?

My morning routine starts off early. I wake up around 6 AM and I don’t touch my phone for the first hour. I make my morning coffee in my Chemex and spend some quiet time reading the Bible, praying, and setting intentions for the day as I drink my coffee. Then I do my skincare routine, get dressed, and head straight to the gym - fasted - where I usually do a strength training workout at my local gym in Santa Monica. I try to spend my mornings focusing on my health and self-care rather than jumping right into work. - Andie

I think that the morning is the most crucial time of day, as it sets the intention for the rest of your day. I'm very similar to Andie: I wake up early, make coffee, read, and prioritize my mental and spiritual health before jumping into work. A solid workout in the morning always helps me feel ready for the day as well! - Juliana
