About

Style is more than the clothes you wear.

I have spent more than twenty years in style, working with people who are stepping into something new. A new role. A new chapter. A sense of self that has shifted and a wardrobe that has not caught up.

My practice is built around a signature process designed to surface your own point of view, not impose mine. We work from the inside out: who you are, how you want to be seen, and what it takes to close that gap.

I am a lifelong visual artist with a BFA in Fashion Design, and I have spent years working across New York's tech and startup world. I understand the pace, the range of contexts you move through, and the kind of precision that makes a difference.

  • BFA in Fashion Design
  • Tech and startup background, NYC
I don't tell people what to wear. They tell me, through my signature method.

Process

The Process

A method built to move from where you are to where you want to be. Every experience customized to fit your needs.

Discover
01

Intake

A conversation about who you are, where you are headed, and what you want your presence to say. We cover your life, your work, and the gap between how you are seen and how you see yourself.

02

Audit

We go through what you own together. What you reach for, what you avoid, and what has been sitting untouched for years. A safe container to create clarity about what is currently present in your closet.

Edit
03

Edit

We decide what stays and what goes. Every piece has a reason. The ones we keep become the foundation for everything that follows.

Express
04

Direction

You receive a clear style direction built around your actual life. A framework you can use on your own, long after we are done.

05

Source

I research and find the pieces that fill any gaps and add value to your wardrobe. Each one is chosen to fit what you already have and what you are building toward. You are not doing any of the shopping.

06

Wear

We bring everything together. I style your new wardrobe and document everything for you to continue to reference.

Services

How
We
Work

Not sure where to start? That is part of the process. We define your direction and build a wardrobe that works for your needs.

01

The Style Session

A focused session working exclusively with what you already own. We build outfits, identify patterns, and create clear direction for how to get dressed every day.

02

The Closet Edit

A full wardrobe review to decide what stays, what goes, and what is missing. We create structure, eliminate friction, and establish a strong foundation.

03

The Closet Edit and Build

Everything in The Closet Edit, plus a sourcing phase. We fill the gaps with considered pieces that align with your lifestyle, goals, and the wardrobe we built together.

04

Event Styling

You have a specific occasion and you want to feel right for it. We start with context, work through options, and put together a look that reflects you.

White Glove Retainer

Ongoing access to styling support as your life evolves. For clients who desire consistent support.
