Image consulting services that make style feel easy

If your wardrobe feels like a mismatch, getting dressed is frustrating, or you’re moving through a life or career change & want to feel more like yourself, you’re in the right place.


Style isn’t just about clothes - it’s about how you feel when you walk out the door, the impression you want to leave, and the confidence you carry. Together, we’ll create a style that feels good, so getting dressed feels effortless and exciting.

Getting dressed shouldn’t feel like a daily struggle

From discovering the colours that bring out your best to building a wardrobe that actually works for your life, my services take the guesswork out of style - so you can get dressed with confidence.
