            “I just started posting my personal experience with these incredible cars, just
            from more like a girl-next-door perspective, not like a full-on technical review

            or a car journalist’s perspective."

            She went full-time in 2017 and was joined the following year by her husband,

            who was working at Bloomberg at the time.


            "He quit his career in finance and joined in 2018 and so it was just the two of
            us running around the world and finding the coolest cars," she said.


            In 2020, when lockdown happened and the pandemic curbed their worldwide

            travel plans, they set up the Supercar Blondie website and hired a team of
            people to gather content from various creators to feature on their channels.


            The website now has a team of journalists writing articles every day on stories
            about cars, luxury, watches and tech. The company also has producers,
            editors and presenters on the social media channels.
