Meet #VLgirl Savanah! Quirky, creative and who you have to thank for the amazing chalk art we always have at the store. You've probably seen some of her street stopping outfits downtown because in addition to VL, she is a barista babe at Cafe Nola, and works front desk at her parent's salon, Ladies & Gents. For such a young age, Savanah can already say she has mastered some pretty cool skills. She completed the culinary program at her high school, stage make up pro, and more. As our artist and emergency seamstress on call, we couldn't be more psyched that she is a #VLgirl. Read our questionnaire below to learn more about Savy!
Having 3 jobs downtown, what would you say is the best thing about working in downtown Frederick?
It’s hard to pick just one but I guess the best thing about working downtown is that it is a tight knit community. Everyone is so friendly and involved in helping other local businesses.
What’s the worst thing about working in downtown Frederick?
I can’t say that there is anything bad about working downtown. Moving from a very rural area to downtown Frederick has really brought this new sense of community and lifestyle that i enjoy.
What is your favorite part about each of those jobs?
Each of these jobs has helped me develop new skill sets and dabble in a bit of everything. Also, each job is a bit different.

As someone with such an eclectic and vibrant style, what is your favorite color to wear and why?
I enjoy wearing primary colors! They remind me of the cartoons I used to watch as a kid and make me feel like my own character.
Chalk board artist, sketch artist, and make - up artist, where did your love for art come from?
I’ve always been a hands on kinda person. Growing up with an artistic family, I was always making or creating something. I enjoy challenging myself to new mediums.
What’s the last song you listened to?
“You’re the Devil in Disguise” by Elvis Presley.
Who would you say your muse is?
My muse is the evolution of art and design. It’s amazing to see how art has changed over such a long period of time, and it inspires me to look back at what risks art has taken to get to where it is today.
Your parents are both entrepreneurs, what’s something about business that you have learned from them?
Oh boy where can I start? I’ve grown up in the salon, and have picked up some tips and tricks, but I’ve also learned that you gotta take risks. Not everyone accepts change, and that you gotta do what you love in order to succeed.
If you were to write a book, what genre would it be?
If I were to write a book, it would probably be fiction. I like to be drawn away from reality and brought to a completely different setting.
What actress would you want to play you in a movie?
Millie Bobby Brown. She was SO amazing in stranger things!
