My passion for fashion has existed for as long as I can remember. I love clothes, shoes, handbags, hats, accessories and all things beautiful. I love the effect a well-styled outfit can have on an individual. To be involved in the process of this beautiful transformation is so rewarding. I have been fortunate enough to find a fulfilling career whereby my genuine love for people, fascination with human behavior and obsession with fashion can co-exist. When I was a teenager, Mum often said “You could seriously shop for a living”. She obviously knew what I was destined to do!
Fashion styling is more than choosing great clothes and keeping up with trends. Great styling is about me as a stylist, understanding my clients’ individual body shape and what garments are going to suit. It involves identifying their desires, fears and lifestyle needs. It’s about building their confidence – so they look good, feel great and have the self-esteem to achieve their own personal goals, not to mention becoming the envy of their peers!
I have undergone studies at Australian Style Institute, home of Australia’s leading style and image professionals. Their unique method of styling is founded in critical principles of human behaviour – enabling me as a Professional Stylist to offer a unique perspective on styling that empowers my clients. I can have a defining influence in their lives by helping them to embrace their personal aspirations, tackle their fears, pursue ambitious career goals, make public appearances or even simply accept and learn to love themselves exactly the way they are.
Did you know it takes approximately 3.5 seconds for someone to form an opinion of you when they see/meet you for the first time? 7% is words and 93% is visual! If we can influence the way people perceive us through our style, then as a Stylist comes power, responsibility and the ability to help people identify their own unique and beautiful style and transform them into the best version of themselves.
Yours in style
