This next She Inspires feature is another Austin favorite of mine, it is the fabulous Ava Arenella. Ava brings a beautiful sound and incredible style to jazz music. Her lovely voice inspires many. Visit her site to hear her beautiful voice. http://www.avaarenella.com/
What one thing inspires you on a daily? My parents. I know it's a little predictable, but what can I say? I'm lucky to have a very inspiring duo as my mom and dad. Also, my band. I simply love Matt and Ammon. I'm fortunate to have found not only bandmates, but best friends. Their love of music inspires me everyday.
How did you start your business/blogging and what keeps you focused?
I am little new to the blogging world, but I started because I wanted to document my jazzy musical adventures! What keeps me focused? That's a good question since I am pretty much the self-titled Queen of ADD. I guess I just like doing it!
What words of inspiration do you have for other aspiring business women?
Do what you're passionate about. That's one thing I've learned. I sort of muddled through a couple different career choices before deciding to be brave enough to simply pursue what I love. It may not be the most fiscally rewarding thing I've done (yet), but I'm rich in happiness and spirit!
What's your design style?
I'm very inspired by the music I sing. So, vintage, to say the least. I especially love the clean lines and bright colors of the mid century modern aesthetic. Like I said earlier, I'm predictable. And, most things french.
What three things do you have to have in your bag/purse?
Lipstick: Ruby Woo by MAC. A little moleskin notebook for music notes! And, eye-drops, in Austin I can't live without them!
Note to Ava: Thanks for stopping by and being such an inspiration through your beautiful voice and fabulous personality. I look forward to working with you again soon!
