Dörte Januszewski | Founder

She/Her

Meet Dörte – a Pinterest enthusiast and photographer. She especially enjoys taking landscape shots and creating nature flat lays. Dörte developed a love for the famous Bauhaus art and design movement. In fact she grew up near Dessau, Germany, the location of the original Bauhaus art school. Dörte lives in Lewes, East Sussex, and you can find her enjoying evening runs on the South Downs with her adorable black Labrador, Ruby 🙂

My Story

“I created Curly Carrot in 2018 after successfully using Pinterest marketing for my own business ‘Lewes Map Store’, an independent online shop selling products from UK designers and makers. I have since worked with many creative small businesses, ethical and sustainable brands and B Corp certified businesses, introducing, applying and teaching my Pinterest marketing strategies to deliver great results time and time again.”

Although I actively embrace all forms of social media for myself and my clients, I have previously only ‘dabbled’ in Pinterest. It was after taking part in one of Dörte’s Pinterest coaching sessions that I truly began to find the love. Understanding that Pinterest is more of a search engine than a social media platform, and creating content that really works and drives traffic has been part of this journey.
