A quick chat with Kaylene Langford

By Stephanie Manning.

When talking about Kaylene Langford, sassy is an understatement. Langford is the mover and shaker behind StartUp Creative; the business incubator program and kickass magazine. She’s all about inspiring and supporting local creatives to take the scary leap and start their own business. So what’s not to love? I sat down with the What-The-Hell-Am-I-Doing girl to find out what she’s been up to and where she goes on the Gold Coast to get her creative juices flowing.

Reading a book on the beach, surfing at Wategos in Byron Bay, drinking a long black in a Melbourne coffee shop or playing hide and seek with the niece and nephews.
