Early life

The daughter of creative director and designer/producer Robert Bingham, Courtney got her start creating home decor and gift items during her childhood in California by rummaging around her father’s warehouses, prop and machine shops to find materials and tools.[16] When she was 16, Sixx signed her first modeling contract with Wilhelmina Models; and at 17 she and her mom, Catherine, moved to Italy where she was signed to the agency Why Not Models Agency in Milan. During that time she appeared on runways, in print ads for clients like Dolce & Gabbana and was featured in a Burger King television commercial. A popular runway model, Courtney continued to model for a variety of designers and brands, including Betsy Johnson, and became a prominent runway model at fashion weeks and fashion shows in Los Angeles and Miami before deciding to focus her professional interest on producing projects, rather then being on-camera.[17][18][19]

How2Girl

Courtney Sixx got the inspiration for the name “How2Girl" while reading an article on Martha Stewart’s website and officially launched her brand in 2012. In 2013 she began hosting How2Girl Radio on iHeart Radio.[20][21] How2Girl segments hosted by Courtney appear on a variety of morning news and magazine programs for a variety of television networks including Tribune Broadcasting’s KTLA in Los Angeles and FOX LA.[22]
