Describe yourself in 3 words?
Commitment, creativity and loyalty.
Who has had the biggest impact on your life so far and why?
My parents, they have always supported me, no matter what happens, they have supported me at all times.
How and when did you start modeling?
In the summer of 2011, I was scouted on the beach in Tarifa, Spain. After some research and Skype calls with the institution (to make sure it was all legal), I flew to London to meet them on the way back to the University of Manchester, where I was studying at the time. I never came back to Manchester and from there started modeling full time.
What are the joys and rewards of modeling? What's not?
For me, the best part about modeling is the experience you get when you travel and meet new people. Some jobs can be very fun and creative, while others can get very tired from early talk times and long hours of work. If you are suddenly booked for a job in another country the next day, you have to be prepared to change plans at the last minute.
What advice would you give to your younger self and why?
Enjoy being young! You are exactly where you need to go and everything arrives in time.
What's the biggest lesson you've learned so far?
Anything happens for a reason, you can do whatever you want, and if you work hard enough to trust yourself and let go of your fears.
Which project is still on your bucket list?
so much!! My list never ends, and I always want to keep doing more.
What's next for Tassa Franken in 2022?
More face-to-face pop-ups, new T-F Studio products and several secret projects.
