I grew up in Alaska, not exactly the most fashion-friendly place to live. Practicality, like what was going to keep you from freezing to death, was always going to trump what was stylish.

But I have always loved unique pieces and the process of bringing things together to create a vibe that feels like the truest expression of me. There is so much power in that.

My passion for beautiful things, and for creating something people have described as “walking art,” goes way beyond what’s currently trending.

As a stylist, yes, I think it’s important to understand trends and what’s happening in fashion, but not so I can put all of my clients into cookie-cutter boxes and make sure they look “trendy” out in the world.

What’s much more important to me is that my clients feel like the truest versions of themselves. I’m not interested in recreating some perfectly curated outfit. I want to help people embrace what makes them unique and express that authentically through what they wear.

Because finding your personal style isn’t just about looking good—it’s about feeling good. When you feel confident, comfortable, and truly yourself in what you’re wearing, it has a ripple effect on the rest of your life. It can bring more confidence, joy, and even a little more playfulness into your everyday experiences.

That, to me, is the magic of style.
