A new era of business
Loretta De Feo, founder of the award-winning independent hair and body care line DIZZIAK, spends most of her work day holding team calls, visiting stockists and meeting with suppliers. Her business has gone from strength to strength since its launch in 2018, having raised funding from angel investors including Dua Lipa, and is now stocked in high-end and premium retailers across the UK.
DIZZIAK was originally conceived as a response to De Feo’s quest to find quality products for her highly textured hair. She was determined to develop a range that would contain nourishing and cruelty-free vegan ingredients to nourish every hair type.
“I’ve always been frustrated with the lack of quality in afro/curly hair products on the street,” she said. “I wanted to create healthy products that really worked, smelled great, looked great, felt great, were effective on all hair textures – no exceptions, no exceptions – and were accessible in main roads”.
Enterprise productivity is transformed with the help of Galaxy it
However, maintaining her busy work schedule and running her brand is challenging, as it is for many entrepreneurs. De Feo has found that incorporating AI into her work life, with the help of Galaxy AI features, is helping her manage more efficiently.
She said: “Since we have so many meetings, it was such a pain to frantically write notes on my phone and then email them to myself. Usually, when I came back to the notes later, they didn’t make sense. Meetings require such a thing. A large part of my day, so it was very frustrating to spend even more time deciphering my often confused notes.”
Now, De Feo can use Note Assist1 on its Galaxy Z Flip device for more efficient handling of meetings and team activities. “I really like using the Note Assist feature during calls,” she said, so her team can “collect ideas quickly and then share a list of action items without the need for a follow-up email.”
De Feo also uses Assistant Transcript1 feature to ensure she never misses a thing during important supplier and media calls.
“It’s great for streamlining post-meeting actions as you get an automated overview without the fluff of meeting agendas,” she said.
Stay connected, wherever you prefer to work
Much of De Feo’s workday is spent on digital interactions, so using a variety of Samsung devices, from the Z Flip to her TabS device, helps support remote work. Whether she’s spending her day at a member’s club or on the go, De Feo can stay connected to her team and stay on top of her growing business.
“There’s no such thing as an average day for me at DIZZIAK, and since I usually work seven days a week, it’s great to have a device like the Flip that can support my changing schedule,” she said.

The phone’s Flex mode and features, such as Photo Assist2 and the edit generator tool within this feature, means De Feo can also take amazing images while out and about. DIZZIAK’s social presence is critical to the brand. “When I’m visiting stockists,” she said, “it’s great to take product photos and quickly edit on the go with Photo Assist. I can resize and retouch the images myself without bothering my designer with small editing tasks. images.”
Focusing on the future
As DIZZIAK aims for international expansion, De Feo uses Chat Assist3 and Translate directly4 to communicate with her contacts, so it is easier to do business without language barriers. As the company grows, DIZZIAK plans to increase its work with European partners, so Live Translate will continue to be a great asset.
De Feo is confident that using Galaxy AI in her daily work life will play a role in DIZZIAK’s success.
Galaxy AI, De Feo said, is helping him “save money already… I’m a lot more productive.” His integration into DIZZIAK’s management has helped speed up processes and make her days run more efficiently. “I have a limited amount of hours in the day and I want to make sure I can do as much as possible,” she said. Galaxy AI has “made my day so much more efficient.”
