Episode 06 – Yolandi Michaels

December 03, 2017

Yolandi Michaels is the Founder and Director of experiential activation agency, Living Masks. She is a single mom of 2 beautiful daughters. Yolandi started her journey studying the creative and performing arts. Yet she always knew she didn't want to follow the traditional path. When she was 6 years old, she boldly told her mother that she never wanted to work for a boss! She initially did work for a boss, in a variety of industries including public relations and advertising, and it was here where her skills in the application of creative arts in marketing were honed. Since registering her business in 2012, Living Masks Experiential has continued to grow and excel, with Yolandi being recognized in August of 2017 as 1 of the top 40 women in her industry. I chat to Yolandi about her journey and the challenges of starting up in the events industry.
