Tessa Schimetat’s Post

This week marked the final chapter of my Depop journey after 4 years! So much happened in these years both professionally and personally. I feel super proud to have built on my role at Depop, starting as a freelance production manager and eventually carving out the role as creative operations lead. A genuine big thank you to my excellent bosses Graham Rounthwaite and Peter Semple for developing me, giving me space and ownership, believing in me (even when I stumbled) and being beyond supportive when I took time out to do my mum things. I’ve loved being at Depop. The culture, the genuine friendships, the work, what the company stands for. A big thank you to all the lovely talented bunch I worked with. Special shout out to the creative team ofc. As a team we worked hard and we acted with kindness, and we always got the end result. Im so sad to leave Depop but after my big one turned 6 and little one turned 1, I could just feel a shift in me. This chapter is about more time at home amongst the cuteness and chaos that kids bring, I feel very fortunate to be able to take this time. I’ll be around in the freelance capacity picking up bits and bobs throughout the year so do think of me for any short stints or holiday cover :). Ending with a pic of me and the ratbags that I’m sure will keep me rather busy in this new chapter.
