Ep. 357: How Sofie Pavitt Built Her Dream Career as NYC's Acne Whisperer
Sofie Pavitt’s pivot from a 15-year career as a fashion designer to becoming NYC’s Acne Whisperer was in the works well before her official career change. While she was traveling to Seoul for her fashion job, she was introduced to innovative skincare products and treatments. This exposure planted a seed that would eventually lead her onto the shelves of every Sephora in the U.S.
After spending a year becoming a certified facialist while working full-time, Sofie left her career in fashion to do facials for her friends and industry contacts. As her client list grew, she created space for them in Sofie Pavitt Studio. In our conversation, she details why her studio is not a spa and how working with clients helps her make the most effective acne-treating products. Sofie’s career journey is a testament to not being afraid of pursuing new dreams.
