From a Data Scientist to an Entrepreneur

From a Data Scientist to an Entrepreneur

I’m a data scientist. I work in the corporate world, where I’ve spent years using AI, data and innovation to solve business problems and help organisations grow.

I’ve invested a huge part of my career learning how to turn data into insights, solve complex problems, and build new ideas that can create real business value.

And I’m also a working mum.

So, between a career, family, and all the responsibilities that come with them, I started asking myself a question:

What if I took everything I’ve learned—and tried to build something of my own?

Not just another idea.

A real business.

Something I have to take from an idea… to a product… to customers… and eventually, hopefully, to a sustainable business.

So I decided to take the leap and start my entrepreneurial journey.

My first experiment is Strylez, an online fashion business built around virtual try-on technology.

And here's the honest truth:

Today, I have zero sales.

I don't know whether this business will succeed.

But I want to find out.

So I'm going to document the journey—the experiments, the failures, the lessons, the small wins, and hopefully, the day I make that first sale.

This is my journey from Data Scientist to Entrepreneur.
