WHAT I DO

As a Certified Personal Stylist, I help a client discover a new way of dressing to look their best and advise them on all things style. Consider me your fashion resource and style expert! My job is to take your look to the next level, help you rediscover the joy and ease of dressing and create your dream wardrobe so you can look and feel fabulous in your style for every occasion in your life. My approach is never to judge the client but to listen, collaborate and work together to achieve your style goals and vision.

MY MISSION

My ultimate goal for each of my clients is to help them realize that they can achieve great style no matter their shape, size, age or where they are in their life and to use their style to accentuate their individuality and feel like the most fabulous version of themselves. Fashion can feel really intimidating for women. I’ve always loved the idea of showing them how fun and powerful fashion can actually be; when you’re wearing an outfit that truly makes you feel amazing, that confidence will radiate and shine brightly. To show them that they belong in the fashion space and help them rediscover themselves in their style. I’m here to open your eyes to a new way of dressing, not to change you but to encourage you to elevate to the ‘next level you’ and see how fabulous you truly are. We have such a love hate relationship with our clothes and our bodies and get so hung up on what we think we can’t wear or pull off. I want to show women that yes you can absolutely pull off so many stylish outfits confidently and fiercely. And get them out of that restrictive box they’ve created in their head so they can see themselves in a fierce way they didn’t know was possible or forgot existed within them. Feeling confident in your clothes is not exclusive to a certain group of women. As your personal stylist, I believe you deserve to look and feel fabulous in your clothes every day.

My Values

Inclusivity

I style women of all shapes, sizes, ages and ethnicities. Great style is not exclusive to just a certain size or body shape. Every woman deserves to have a closet she loves and a style that makes her feel fabulous from head-to-toe!

Ease

Life is already complicated and serious enough; fashion shouldn’t be. I don’t believe in fashion rules or restrictions. My process is not based on strict, mathematical formulas or theories to follow. While parts of my styling sessions involves learning, introducing and integrating fashion principles like body type and color analysis, the majority of your styling experience to be as open, exciting and freeing as possible. At it’s core, fashion should always be fun first and foremost.

Individuality

It’s important to me as your stylist to celebrate your unique style point of view and your signature style. If we all dressed like carbon copies of each other, life would look and feel so dull and uninspiring. It’s not about dressing you like me or sticking only to what’s trendy. That’s not what makes you stylish. It’s about using your style to stand out, express yourself, tell a story and showing up authentically yourself.

Elevate

We’re always evolving, pivoting and elevating in our life, our career, our personality and in our style. Elevation is something I always encourage women to keep in mind when getting dressed. Elevating your looks, elevating your wardrobe; it all has a positive impact on how you present yourself, the impression you’re making, what you’re conveying in every room you enter. It’s a feeling that radiates.

Trust

Coming into women’s closets, assessing their dressing and shopping habits or discussing their style struggles and their body image are all very intimate things that deserve a sensitive and gentle approach. I always want to create a comfortable, judge-free space as your stylist. my services are based on trust, respect and collaboration. Meeting you where you are in your style journey and gently pushing you out of your comfort zone while always respecting your boundaries.

Joy

At the root of fashion should always be joy. Yes, style is about clothes and putting together fierce looks. But it’s so much more than that. Style is about transformation. It’s about intention. Storytelling. Confidence. Self-expression. Uniqueness. Showing up. Fantasy. There’s so much power in how we present ourselves. And there’s also so much joy, creativity and whimsy. in our personal style. As your stylist, I always want every session, every outfit, every part of your styling experience to feel joyful and exciting!

My Story

Fashion has always been my source of joy and inspiration since the age of ten. My head was always stuck in a fashion magazine or I was in and out of my mom’s closet playing dress up. One of my favorite hobbies was looking at the women’s evening gowns in the mall’s department stores and trying on the variety of dresses displayed. I loved touching the fabrics, analyzing the way the mannequins were styled and trying on the pieces to see how they would drape when worn. Every aspect about clothes made me happy as a little girl.

Growing up biracial, I never felt like I fit in with my friends. I was never white enough or black enough and it left me feeling like everyone wanted to put me in a specific box. Fashion became my outlet to create my own box and be myself. I could express who I was through fashion and didn’t have to fit into anyone’s conformities. Dressing how I wanted gave me the confidence to embrace my individuality and uniqueness.

As I got older, I discovered how transformative a great outfit could be for your confidence. If I was having a bad week at school, I’d plan out my look for the next morning, choosing an outfit that would emulate how I wanted to feel. Without fail, that outfit made me feel more dynamic and self-assured once I got to school. It gave me a quiet confidence and created a domino effect: I stood taller, I spoke louder and allowed myself to be seen. Those experiences made me a firm believer in dressing with intent and using fashion as my way to express how I wanted to feel.

After graduating high school, I pursued my dream of having a career in the fashion industry. It took several years of working odd part-time jobs to figure out the right fashion profession but I eventually chose personal styling. I know that as women, we tend to have a love/hate relationship with our clothes. I wanted to share the joy fashion has always brought to me with other women. Being a personal stylist was the perfect fit for me because I could use my creativity and love for fashion to help women feel more confident in their style!

Although college didn’t offer a personal stylist degree, being educated in this field was important to me. I wanted to be taken seriously and be educated in the services I’d be offering to my clients. I made it my mission to find a professional program to teach me every aspect of personal styling. From 2016 to 2017, I received thorough online training from two highly accredited schools in California specializing in personal styling, menswear styling and color consulting. In 2017, I started my styling career when I opened my own small color consulting business. By 2019 I expanded and now offer both 1:1 and virtual personal styling services. Perfecting my craft and expertise is a priority for me and so I’m always building my knowledge and continuing my professional training in my field.

One of the greatest moments as a personal stylist is seeing a client’s confidence build as I work with them. They begin to branch out of their style comfort zone and they let themselves shine in their clothes rather than hide. They allow themselves to be visible and rock their style with pride. I believe every woman has a fashionista living inside them and my job as a stylist is to help bring her out!
