Part 2 of 2: Read about Susie's co-owner, Julie Dorenbos, who was featured yesterday on I Want Her Job.
After years of being exposed to spray tanning through promotional brand management and her own biopsy, Susie Celek knew she wanted to pursue a career in the sunless tanning realm. She received training and education in esthetics from Aveda Institutes and, working alongside best friend and business partner Julie Dorenbos, opened the doors to Skin Palette in 2011.
In college, Susie was an All-American swimmer and captain of the University of Cincinnati women’s crew team. She graduated with a degree in communications and worked for TEAM Enterprises. While managing one particularly ripped female promo model, Susie was exposed to another field she fell in love with: boxing. In addition to growing Skin Palette, she looks forward to coaching and training and someday opening her own gym for underserved girls.
Susie, along with Julie, can often be found on local media discussing the business and Philly sports. She looks forward to growing the company with her best friend and business partner and sharing “the benefits of Skin Palette in other locations” soon.
