I was your friend in middle school who taught you how to do eyeshadow, the drama club’s costume designer in high school, the one who worked at the mall in college, whose closet got raided on girl's night.

I was also the kid in elementary school totally obsessed with animals: tackling a boy on the playground for roughhousing a tree, writing to POTUS about endangered species, and knocking on doors to save the manatees.

For over 10 years as a stylist for big companies (Nordstrom, Nike, Bloomingdale's, Forever 21) and small ones alike, from buying wholesale in DTLA’s (notoriously sketchy) Fashion District, to dressing a music video on a rooftop in Hollywood (2013, peak statement necklace)

At every turn of my career, I saw fashion’s staggering waste from every angle.

I came to decide that to create change, I had to get out and help people one-by-one replace the nightmare of shopping with fun, intention, and the power of claiming how they want to be seen.
