“To me, clothes are far more than just frivolous fluff.
They are a powerful transformative tool.”
17 years ago, my world fell apart. I had two children within a year of each other and my husband was left permanently injured during the second pregnancy. Everything was turned upside-down; my life and my body had changed beyond recognition and I was hit with crippling postpartum anxiety.
Growing up a country girl didn’t offer me much exposure to the world of fashion. Although I am a tomboy at heart, I have always had a passion for all things art and design. Eventually, this interest in all things creative led me to the world of personal style.
Clothing and personal style became my path to claiming back my identity and sanity. It allowed me to change from the outside, in.
It’s now my pleasure to help clients to claim their identity and master their personal style.

Describe my style: Unfussy feminine. I love pared back minimalist design, luxurious fabrics and interesting construction. Pale, blended and harmonious outfits with an interesting twist.
