We had the good fortune of connecting with Savannah Simpson and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Savannah, we’d love to hear about how you approach risk and risk-taking.
Without risk there is no reward. Risk has been one of the most important factors in my career as a makeup artist and model! I live by risk as it helps create the best art possible!

Let’s talk shop? Tell us more about your career, what can you share with our community?
I grew up as a classical pianist moving into makeup artistry, modeling, content creation for brands, producing music videos and more. I kept a steady vision and a hard head through the years. Every no you hear, gets you closer to a yes. No, it was not easy; I tend to think of something I heard that someone told me once and it’s that you should never take a no from someone that can’t say yes (I might have made that up, but I think it was Eleanor Roosevelt).

Any places to eat or things to do that you can share with our readers? If they have a friend visiting town, what are some spots they could take them to?
Tommy burger, wanna smash ,taco trucks ,big steaks large eggs farmers markets basically just love to exist isn’t that why we are doing this interview in the first place. Also if you’re in SoCal, let’s go to in n out. Tap in. Idk maybe a friends show something light I’m kinda a hermit besides my art and food and supporting the homies!
