“I think my most daring achievement was deciding to set up my own business, Rose Inc. about 18 months ago. Every day there’s a new challenge, but every day is equally as rewarding. ”

Growing up on a farm in Devon, a county part of South West England, before being discovered by Profile Model Management at the age of 16, Rosie created the website to share her passion for beauty.
“It was really about creating a community of people who love beauty. Beauty has been a passion of mine since I can remember and I started to observe how positively friends and followers across my social platforms responded and engaged when I shared anything that was beauty-related. I’m always being asked for tips—which products I use—and tricks from the industry. So, I really wanted to create a platform where people could come and learn, and I could share all of the things that I’ve picked up over the past 16 years as a model.”
