Episode 4 with Mekel Bailey - Stylist and Costume Designer  

Mekel began his career in the music industry at just 19 years old, starting out as a runner and working his way up through sheer passion and dedication. Over the years, he’s contributed to more than a hundred music videos, styling and dressing some of the biggest names in the industry  from Nicki Minaj and Nick Jonas to Kelly Rowland, Leigh-Anne Pinnock, KSI, Olivia Colman, and Virgil van Dijk.

Most recently, Mekel brought his creative vision to the acclaimed Netflix Original series Baby Reindeer, which went on to receive 11 Emmy nominations  including Outstanding Contemporary Costume for a Limited or Anthology Series.

I was very excited to have Mekel as my first guest for this podcast. With every project, Mekel brings a powerful sense of storytelling through his designs, creating looks that deepen our connection to the characters and the worlds they inhabit.

Beyond his professional achievements, Mekel speaks openly about his experiences with imposter syndrome, a topic that resonates deeply with so many people, both personally and professionally.
