Mariah Saad wears multiple professional hats: she is both a
graduate trademark lawyer and founder of a loungewear fashion
brand, LONELY IS MY HAPPY. Pursuing both pathways, she says, makes
her a better and more rounded professional.
In this episode of The Protégé Podcast, host Jerome Doraisamy
speaks with LegalVision graduate Mariah Saad about her work with
the fast-growing NewLaw firm, her lifelong interest in fashion, how
and why she founded LONELY IS MY HAPPY during the COVID-19
pandemic, and being deliberate with her marketing and branding
about empowerment and confidence as it pertains to wearing
loungewear.
Ms Saad also reflects on wanting people to talk more about their
mental health struggles and having her label champion such
conversations, how law students and young lawyers have responded to
her label, how her legal employer has embraced her work, how she
manages her time and the juggle, what she has learnt in the course
of being a business owner and young lawyer simultaneously, what
advice she has for emerging legal professionals about broadening
one’s skill set, and why they should be unafraid to pursue their
passions.
