Navigating New York with Freya Drohan

On this episode of Navigating New York I speak to Freya Drohan, Executive Fashion Director at The Daily Front Row. Freya is from Malahide in Dublin and has been living in New York for 7 Years. After graduating with a degree in Journalism, Freya moved to New York with the dream of becoming a fashion journalist. Freya is now a  Director at one of the most prestigious and respected digital and print Fashion Magazines in the Industry. Earlier this year the Irish Independent listed her as one of "17 Irish people killing it on the world stage" 

 Freya is refreshingly honest about the hard work and determination it has taken to get to where she is today, as well as the realities of working at A List Fashion events, how fashion marketing has changed the industry, and how important it is to get your foot in the door.

Freya’s passion for what she does and her love for New York City really makes her the perfect guest for this podcast.  Although her job is incredibly demanding and the fashion industry moves at a pace like no other, Freya acknowledges that she is doing what she once dreamed of doing.  One thing she said that really stood out to me was “its hard work – but we all have the ability to work hard” 

We chat about the grind and hustle it takes to "make it" in New York, the importance of having good people around you, what makes New York so special - and Freya nailed my newest topic “Life Hacks for living in NYC!”

I hope you get as much from this conversation as I did!
