Welcome!! Here's a little about me...
Finding beauty is a quest of mine, it always has been. My mind catalogues all sorts of beautiful things I have seen. A fabulous interior space, a cool logo design, a painting by Corot, a genius piece of design, an exquisite piece of furniture... and of course!!! Fashion, textiles and accessories!
I know I am lucky to see the world this way. I am like a squirrel with beauty.
When I was growing up my grandmother taught me how to sew. We would spend every other weekend together, at the sewing machine, creating my designs. She taught me about femininity, tailoring and how to dress to flatter. I think in her time, people understood how to do that better - making the most of what little they had. It's because of her that I LOVE fashion, that's her legacy to me.
At university I studied Design. A couple of brilliant lecturers opened my eyes to a whole new way of looking at products. I loved the idea that one person could design something that would impact thousands of people in their everyday life. I still see products that way, even garments. A well designed product has the power to make a difference.
In London, I first worked in Interior Design and later managing boutiques in Fashion Retail. I was fortunate to work with several International fashion brands such as Issey Miyake, that pushed my boundaries on style. Working in fashion is super fun, I've had the pleasure of meeting and styling many well-known celebrities: actors, musicians, models and famous fashionistas! Not to mention the clothes!!
For the last 3 years, whilst living in gorgeous tropical Malaysia, I have been consulting in Personal Styling. I have styled career mums, executives - both men and women, tourists, young adults and even some homes! As a Personal Stylist, I help people navigate products that impact how they feel about themselves - their personal image; their visual communication....
"We become what we behold. We shape our tools and then our tools shape us." Marshall McLuhan.
It's more than putting together a great ensemble; for me it's about creating a wardrobe that supports others to be the best they can be, to do the work they were born to do. What I want for all my clients regarding style: discovery, ease, fun & empowerment.
Thanks to lots of great referrals and solely through word-of-mouth, my styling work has flourished and presents endless opportunities. I am thrilled that I enjoy my work everyday!
