It’s no secret that our community attracts high-achieving women, and this week we’re thrilled to feature Anna Redman of Subtle Haus. In this exclusive interview, Anna shares how her business is the culmination of all her creative experiences and passions. Her career journey began as a copywriter at an advertising agency. She transitioned to freelancing but soon found that while she loved the freedom that freelancing provided, she missed the vibrant, resource-rich environment of her old office. She wanted to recreate that sense of community and provide access to high-end resources like photography studios and sound equipment for other entrepreneurs. Subtle Haus is a space designed to nurture creativity, foster collaboration, and build a supportive community. Follow along as we dive into her path from copywriter to owning a creative co-working space, her advice for overcoming imposter syndrome, and how adapting and innovating have helped her (and can help you!) set the stage for long-term success and sanity.
