Not at all! I work with people with various budgets, and most aren’t spending thousands of dollars on clothes. As a huge fan of buying gently used and shopping sales, I’ll work with you on where and when to shop to get the most out of your budget. We can also talk about how to budget for special purchases so you can continue building your closet over time. In the program, we start with what you already have in your closet and identify the gaps in your wardrobe, so you’re spending wisely and strategically. We’ll fill your closet with a mix of fun fashion and key pieces that will have staying power over time.

For 20 years as a designer, my job has always been to help my clients express their image to the world – not what I think it should be. My own personal style is how I choose to express myself to the world, but this is my style. Personal style is just that – personal. You don’t have to love how I express myself because my style is my own, and your style will be unique to you. I won’t tell you what I think you should buy or how to dress. I’ll help you bring that out of yourself, and once you’ve found it, I’ll help you bring it all together so you can show up every day with confidence and main character energy.

I deeply believe that style is for everyone. Unfortunately, the fashion industry hasn’t made it easy for all people to feel included. When I work with my clients, I focus on their individual needs and style goals. One great thing about personal style is how it can be used to express ourselves – our gender, identity, personality, and creativity. I am honored to work with a variety of identities and work with anyone who wants to explore their personal style. As a big sister to a person with Cerebral Palsy, I understand that it’s not just about how we look but how clothing, shoes, and accessories fit and feel. I am always actively researching adaptive and sensory-friendly brands, but this is still a slow-growing industry and may limit the extent to which I can support you. If you’d like to discuss your individual needs and goals, please fill out the questionnaire on this page and we can book a chat and determine whether or not I can support you.

There are pros and cons to shopping online and in person. Shopping online is more accessible for people with disabilities. Google can speed up the time it takes to find specific items, searching down to the color, fabric, and accents. Filters can help you sort through online stores and simplify shopping. Shopping in person can take more time and energy, and if you’re not clear on what you’re looking for and it can be easy to overspend. Many physical stores aren’t size-inclusive. The benefit to shopping in person is that it allows you to try things on and match colors in real life vs. over a screen. I work with all my clients individually to determine the best course of action for them.

My program focuses on helping you find a style you love and recommending brands that I think will help you achieve your style goals, fit your body, and your budget. While I’m doing brand research, I will find and bring specific items that I think you’ll love, but much of what I bring to the call will be brands and styles. My goal is for you to find go-to places to shop, and styles you love, so you can feel confident shopping for yourself in the future.

Yes! I’ve created my own signature questionnaire’s to learn more about you and to help us create your goals for the day. Since I’m a coach and EASE is one of my top core values, I’ve made the process as easy as possible for you. I’ve created a simple, prework mini-course with video and written instructions to guide you through the process. There are four lessons and the work can be submitted right in the portal. Prework must be submitted 4 days before our call, so I have time to get to work finding you the perfect items and brands.
