Julia Engel started her company Gal Meets Glam in 2011 while a Junior in college studying Business. She had an insatiable desire to create and share something with the world but was not entirely sure what that “something” was. Julia began writing blog posts and shortly following expanded her platform as a way to share what inspires her with people around the world. Containing tips on style, home, beauty, and travel, Julia shares he own personal tastes, life, and looks. Gal Meets Glam provides daily inspiration and advice for every occasion through specific, detailed, and aesthetically pleasing blog posts.
Julia’s clothing line has especially taken off within the last few years mostly due to her large following on Instagram. Though expensive, Gal Meets Glam has proven to be of the highest quality and an overall coveted product.
Julia’s husband Thomas joined her in starting the business and they both now work full time on it. Thomas is a very accomplished photographer, and they both work as entrepreneurs highlighting the potential joys and glamour of life while sharing their personal insights. Together they continue to expand and perfect their business while pursuing their passion to learn and grow.
I thought it was interesting how you mentioned that her company has especially taken off since instagram. That’s a great example I think of how two different entrepreneurial ventures can assist each other, with one person using a preexisting platform to further their own business–they both help each other.
It’s neat to see someone our age develop something this successful. I find it so impressive that she was able to grow her fashion blog into a business, and find new market offerings that still appealed to her followers.
