FAQs


Do you specialize in men’s or women’s styling?




I focus on you as an individual, regardless of gender. I began my career as a men’s stylist, specializing in ready-to-wear and custom clothing, where I also fitted women looking to incorporate traditionally "menswear" pieces. Over time, I expanded my work to focus on women’s styling as well. My approach is always about helping you develop a style that feels authentic, personal, and uniquely yours, regardless of how you identify.


What kinds of stores do you shop from?




I shop wherever makes sense for you. If you’re working with a tighter budget, I’ll find pieces that align with it. If you’re ready to invest more, I’ll guide you toward pieces that bring long-term value. My focus is never about brand names—unless that’s your specific goal—but about the quality and purpose of the product itself.

 

I may encourage you to invest in certain items, but always for a reason: it’s about cost per wear, versatility, and overall value—not just the upfront price tag. Even if money is no object, I still prioritize pieces that truly make sense for your wardrobe and lifestyle.


What sets you apart from other stylists?




My priority isn’t about dressing you in the latest and greatest; it’s about helping you develop a deeper understanding of your personal style and find an approach that resonates with you. We’ll build confidence and clarity while having fun with the process.

 

But if you need quick stats:

 

  • I’ve been styling private clients since 2015.
  • I have a background in psychology (a major advantage when understanding people and their style)
  • I’ve had 10 years of fashion buying experience (Barneys New York, Net-A-Porter, FWRD, Nili Lotan), giving me special insight into product development and merchandising. I know which fabrics and construction are worth spending on, how to shop wisely knowing when/why things go on sale, and how brands use online presentation and marketing to influence purchasing decisions.


Virtual vs in-person — which one is for me?




Virtual styling technology has come a long way, with features like a personalized virtual lookbook—allowing you to shop curated items directly—and a digital closet to organize your wardrobe. However, in-person sessions provide a hands-on experience that’s hard to replicate. Here’s a quick breakdown to help you decide:

 

Virtual Styling:

 

Convenient and done from home

Flexible timelines

Privacy

Access to a wider selection of stores and designers

 

In-Person Styling:

 

Real-time assessment of fit and fabric

No hassle of returns

Accurate alteration measurements

Efficient sessions that accomplish a lot in one day

A combination of both is also an option, and travel can be discussed based on logistics!


Why do you have limited openings?




I limit my openings because the first month with every new client is an in-depth process! We dive deep to build a strong foundation.

To ensure that both new and ongoing clients receive the time, energy, and personalized attention they deserve, I carefully manage my client load each month. This allows me to provide the highest level of service without compromising quality!


Why don’t you have before-and-after photos?




Many of my clients value discretion, and I respect that. The “before” is often taken when someone isn’t feeling their best, and showcasing that for the sake of marketing never really sat well with me.
