We’re looking forward to introducing you to Skylar Currie. Check out our conversation below.

Good morning Skylar, it’s such a great way to kick off the day – I think our readers will love hearing your stories, experiences and about how you think about life and work. Let’s jump right in? What is a normal day like for you right now?
Hey! I’m Skylar Currie, the creator behind @ServingLooksATL. A normal day for me right now usually starts with a strong coffee and planning my content calendar. I spend mornings scouting spots for food, lifestyle, and travel shoots—sometimes at a local restaurant, other times at a luxury apartment or nearby park. Afternoons are dedicated to creating content, whether that’s shooting a quick UGC video, styling a photoshoot, or crafting captions and social posts that truly engage my audience.

I also set aside time for behind-the-scenes work: coordinating brand partnerships, drafting press releases, and managing digital campaigns that give a client’s message extra momentum. Evenings are when I review analytics, respond to collaborators, and brainstorm the next viral idea. I try to balance work with personal moments, like cooking at home or enjoying time with my husband. Every day is a mix of creativity, strategy, and a little bit of hustle—and I wouldn’t have it any other way.

Can you briefly introduce yourself and share what makes you or your brand unique?
Hey! I’m Skylar Currie, the creator behind @ServingLooksATL, where I bring food, travel, and lifestyle content to life in a way that feels real, engaging, and made to stop the scroll. I’ve partnered with brands big and small to create influencer content, UGC, and custom social campaigns that drive connection and visibility, while also crafting press releases, email campaigns, and digital promos that give a message extra momentum.

I founded Serving Looks ATL out of my passion for creating memorable, impactful moments—from discovering new culinary experiences and travel adventures to highlighting lifestyle trends and event activations. What makes my brand unique is its mix of authenticity and strategy: every piece of content is crafted to resonate with audiences while achieving measurable results for brands. Right now, I’m focused on growing my platform, partnering with brands in ways that feel organic, and continuing to share moments that inspire, entertain, and connect with my community.

Amazing, so let’s take a moment to go back in time. Who were you before the world told you who you had to be?
Before the world told me I had to be an accountant, I was a curious, creative problem-solver with a love for storytelling, experiences, and connecting with people. I was the friend organizing food adventures, testing recipes, and documenting moments just for the joy of sharing them. Even in school and early in my career, I found myself drawn to creativity and entrepreneurship, exploring ways to bring ideas to life rather than just following a predefined path. That curiosity eventually led me to leave the traditional corporate route and build Serving Looks ATL, where I could merge strategy, storytelling, and creativity into something uniquely my own.

What fear has held you back the most in your life?
The fear that’s held me back the most is worrying that people would think I post too much or that my content isn’t “enough.” Early on, I hesitated to share my ideas, my food adventures, and lifestyle moments because I overthought how others would perceive me. Over time, I realized that holding back only limited my growth and my ability to connect with people who actually resonate with my story. Embracing consistency and authenticity has been the key—posting boldly, sharing genuinely, and trusting that the right audience will appreciate it.

Alright, so if you are open to it, let’s explore some philosophical questions that touch on your values and worldview. What important truth do very few people agree with you on?
An important truth very few people agree with me on is that the human element—seeing a real, relatable person—is more powerful than perfectly polished, AI-generated, or faceless content. I’ve found that audiences connect, trust, and engage far more when they actually see me in the content, experiencing the moment alongside them.

Showing myself in content isn’t just about authenticity—it’s a competitive edge. It creates emotional connection, builds loyalty, and makes a brand memorable in a way that algorithms, stock photos, or faceless campaigns simply can’t. That’s why I center my work on putting me in the story, giving brands a recognizable, trustworthy, and approachable presence that truly resonates with their audience.

Okay, so let’s keep going with one more question that means a lot to us: What do you think people will most misunderstand about your legacy?
I think people will most misunderstand that my legacy isn’t just the fun, scroll-stopping content they see—it’s the countless hours of planning, shooting, editing, scheduling, and cross-posting behind the scenes. While my videos and posts look effortless and enjoyable, there’s a ton of strategy, hard work, and attention to detail that goes into every piece. My goal is to leave a legacy that shows creativity can be both entertaining and intentional, proving that real impact comes from consistency, vision, and dedication—not just what shows up on the screen.
