Celebrating creative self-expression through style using the modality of luxury and emerging fashion brands. By using my creativity, fashion retail experience, and fashion knowledge i aim to continue to deliver seamless one-to-one image consulting experiences. I endeavour to build on the services that i have already delivered on an individual level and apply my skillset to the realm of commercial styling, in-house styling and musician styling.

My purpose and goal is to leverage my creativity when it comes to styling, my knack for sourcing sold out items, in addition to my expansive brand and product knowledge, to create a symbiosis between an individual’s/brand’s story & style.
