Pair up for flair
Kate Alexander started her styling business, Places & Graces, on a whim. For the first two years she worked solo, with no real plan to hire staff or expand. Then, her second cousin Shelby George popped over from England on holiday, and Places & Graces found its first employee.
“When Mum said Shelby was going to visit and could do some work experience with me, I rolled my eyes,” says Kate.
“But when we met it was like meeting the sister I never had. We had so much fun, she taught me how to laugh, even in stressful situations.”
The duo worked so well together
