Prior to being an influencer, Samuels was a lawyer but changed her career path to work full-time in the fashion industry.
Speaking to Rose Inc she explained: “I had just turned 30 and was spending so many hours in the office, so I started to question if this office life was what I wanted to do forever.
“I completely broke down and was like, ‘I need something for me because all I’m doing is working, coming home, putting my kids to sleep and then going to bed and doing it all over again’.”
Samuels cited her love for ‘experimenting’ with fashion as a reason for ditching her career as a lawyer – but describes herself as an ‘accidental influencer’.
Since becoming a full-time influencer, she has collaborated with the likes of Net-A-Porter.
