Vashtie, also known as “downtown’s sweetheart,” does it all. From designing her own brand (Violette) to being the creative director for Ice Cream Girl, she documents all of her experiences on her blog. She started her career off directing music videos for artist such as Solange and Justin Bieber, and after leaving her position as director of creative services at Def Jam, she went full throttle with doing her own thing. She is a jill of all trades, and she doesn’t show any signs of slowing down any time soon.
