I met Ashlyn when she styled a shoot for me and she gave me some unofficial sage advice about pricing and costing that helped me get out of scarcity and into the reality of ethical profit. She shared information about her career background and experience - I don’t think Ashlyn realised how incredibly grounding and inspiring that was/ she is. Ashlyn’s character, qualifications and experience make her a brilliant business mentor for product based businesses”. “I highly recommend her sessions”. Tamu Thomas founder of Live Three Sixty.
