If my life was a Venn diagram, it'd be equal parts creativity, sustainability and compassion.

My career disproves the myth that you can't make a living as a do-gooder.

Over the last 2 years, my creative work has contributed to the divestment of many millions of dollars out of fossil fuels and back into renewable energy and ethical companies. It’s my proudest achievement.

Previously, as Digital & Brand Manager for both Future Super & Cruelty Free Super, I spent most days ideating and executing advertising creative to hit our high growth targets, as well as optimising customer experience across various platforms.

Oh and I've been an avid Webflow fan, supporter and customer since 2014!

Cuando la pandemia parecía llegar para quedarse tuve que tomar una decisión muy importante: cambiar la modalidad de mis estudios. El mundo virtual en principio caótico (por lo nuevo) me llevó al encuentro con el desarrollo de software. Este "universo" me permitió y exigió ser mas creativo de lo que creía ser, animándome a cruzar limites insospechados y cumplir grandes objetivos. El mas importante y base de todo lo demás, fue comenzar como Analista funcional IT en grandes compañías que me formaron como ninguna escuela pudiera hacer y sobretodo animarme a continuar soñando nuevos objetivos personales y profesionales. Apasionado por comunicar, este año 2024 voy a lanzar una web de noticias y entrevistas y por otro lado, también me considero emprendedor, lanzando próximamente un mvp (app web) que tiene el ímpetu de proponer una nueva manera de comprar y vender. Espero que esto sea solo el comienzo de algo mas grande.

Kristen Bradley is a prominent figure in the luxury event planning sector, where she combines her financial acumen with a discerning eye for design to craft memorable, upscale events. In addition to her role as a premier event planner, she operates The Chic Maven. This YouTube channel caters to high-end fashion enthusiasts and provides tips on sophisticated styling. A central theme in her career and personal philosophy is the paramount importance of valuing time, which she regards as the most critical asset and frequently discusses in her public engagements.

Her current professional responsibilities are expansive and varied. In 2021, she launched The Chic Maven on YouTube and social media, rapidly becoming a respected authority in luxury fashion advice. She also runs Panache Style, a floral and event design business based in Miami, Florida. This enterprise delivers opulent event experiences to a global clientele, offering elaborate floral arrangements, complete event décor, and specialized installations tailored to each season.

Kristen Bradley's entry into the worlds of fashion and event planning began during her teenage years in retail, providing her with a solid foundation to inform her later professional pursuits. Her early career trajectory saw her moving from an initial position at Forever 21 to luxury fashion roles at Neiman Marcus, where she was exposed to elite brands such as Chanel, Giorgio Armani, and Yves Saint Laurent. Her profound appreciation for Yves Saint Laurent eventually inspired her to fully transition into event planning, enabling her to merge her love for fashion with her talent for creating visually stunning events.

On The Chic Maven, Bradley uses her platform to share valuable insights into making smart investments in luxury fashion, styling elegant outfits, and maintaining impeccable grooming standards. She stresses the significance of essential fashion elements like quality, fit, and tailoring—principles she considers crucial for anyone aspiring to achieve an elegant and enduring style. Her ability to convey these concepts with clarity and charm is enhanced by her experience in pageantry, which sharpened her public speaking and presentation skills.

Her meticulous attention to detail is evident in her event planning business, particularly her floral and décor design approach. Her passion for this aspect of event planning was ignited while she helped decorate for a friend's wedding, leading her to explore more sophisticated design concepts and arrangements. Initially focused on weddings, Panache Style has evolved to prioritize corporate events, serving renowned clients like Samsung and Capital One and managing significant setups for events like the Super Bowl in Miami in 2020.

Managing the intricate dynamics of the event industry requires her to excel in coordinating complex logistics, reconciling client expectations with vendor services, and leading a diverse workforce. She frequently speaks about the importance of perseverance and determination in pursuing professional goals, highlighting the need to navigate challenges with resilience.

She earned her degree in finance from the University of Houston, where she also engaged in the highly competitive Texas pageant circuit, further honing her competitive edge and personal presentation skills. Her professional achievements are substantial, with The Chic Maven quickly establishing a significant online following after its launch as a website in 2020 and subsequent expansion into a YouTube channel in 2021. Additionally, her company, Panache Style, has garnered multiple industry accolades, including The Knot and Wedding Wire recognition.

Despite the demanding nature of her roles, Kristen Bradley considers her YouTube channel, with over 60,000 subscribers, an integral component of her career. Through The Chic Maven, she offers guidance and shares her extensive experience in fashion and event planning, helping viewers make informed decisions about their style and investments. Her commitment to building a vibrant community around fashion discussions demonstrates her belief in the transformative power of passion and the effectiveness of seizing every opportunity.
