OFFICE HOURS: GABRIELLA GOFIS, STARLING
Name: Gabriella Gofis
City of Residence: Los Angeles, California
How do you spend your days? I am the Marketing Director at Starling Jewelry! My day is filled with staring at beautiful gems, social media and content creation, and so much more! My 5-9 and weekends are filled with substack writing and other content creation for my personal channels.
What does a typical work day look like for you? No day is the same, which is what I love so much about my work life. I head to our Starling HQ a few times a week and each day is unique. Planning photoshoots, managing community and influencer relations, marketing strategy and branding, filming and editing, are just a few things I touch on most days. I love being able to dip my toes into every part of Starling. How do you keep track of your to-do list? I'm old school when it comes to my to-do list. My legal pads are my best friend and where I write everything I need to get done. I also have a corresponding list in my notes-app just in case, but prefer a pen to paper moment.
Analog or Digital? Digital! My watch has been out of battery for a couple years, so safe to say I rely heavily on my iPhone clock.
Daily work uniform? I think I wear jeans every single day. I start with a white tee and jeans, and then add a sweater or jacket that might be a little unexpected. I'd say that is my uniform. I am definitely a bag lady, I usually have a large tote to fit my laptop and legal pads, and then a LL Bean tote or crossbody bag.
Favorite part of your job? My favorite part of my job is being able to water something and see the growth right before my eyes. It's super gratifying and special to me.
Favorite object/accessory in your office? My desk calendar or legal pads for sure.
Name one thing that is always on your desk: My muji pens and lip gloss.What’s something you do outside of work just for yourself? My favorite thing to do outside of work is anything that can get me off my phone. I love pilates, going to the beach, shop hopping around town and hitting the flea markets. I love a solo lunch or dinner at a swanky spot- just me and some good food- it's therapeutic.
Who are you sending your next card / [love] note to? I'll be writing a card to my boyfriend for our 7 year anniversary coming up very soon.
