Before the drapes and color palettes, I designed department-store visual displays, staged homes, styled clients in Anthropologie dressing rooms, coached people through thousands of calls, facilitated breathwork circles, studied color theory—and had one very long relationship with blonde hair.
And somewhere along the way, I realized something else: I didn’t want my hair or my clothes to do all the talking anymore. I wanted people to see ME first.
Before I became a color analyst, I spent more than a decade working in fashion, visual merchandising, and personal styling—including years at Lord & Taylor and Anthropologie.
After working with hundreds of styling clients, I knew when a color wasn’t quite right. One red would bring someone fully to life while another seemed to wear them. Black looked amazing on one person and disconnected from another. Olive green could make someone glow—or look like they desperately needed a nap.
Temperature, value, chroma, and contrast explained the patterns I had been noticing for years. There was structure behind the instinct—and a concrete reason one color could make someone look incredible while another just… didn’t.
True story: For most of my adult life, I colored my naturally golden brown hair blonde. And during my years as a stylist, my closet was bursting with color, pattern, and print. I loved it all.
But over the past few years, something shifted. I stopped coloring my hair, pared down my closet to a fraction of what it used to be, and started paying more attention to what actually felt like me.
When I finally had my own color analysis, so much of what I’d been noticing clicked into place. My natural warmth made so much more sense on me than the blonde ever had.
The analysis didn’t turn me into someone new. It helped me understand why so many of the colors I already loved worked for me, and gave me a clearer way to choose what came next.
Spoiler: I'm a Warm Autumn.
Styling taught me to see. Coaching taught me to listen. Breathwork taught me to pay attention to what’s happening beneath the surface.
All along, I’ve been fascinated by what makes us feel more like ourselves.
That’s what I bring into my color analysis sessions—a trained eye, curiosity, intuition, and plenty of room for you to make your colors your own.
