I’m a creative soul with a lifelong love for color, self-expression, and personal style. Before becoming a personal stylist, I spent over a decade as an art teacher—playing with color, texture, and design on a daily basis. That experience gave me a deep appreciation for how powerful color can be and how much it can shift not just how we look, but how we feel.

My style journey started early and boldly. Picture a middle school version of me in a purple satin top with 60’s style patterns and maroon velvet pants. Also yes. It was my first lesson in standing out and trusting my instincts, and I’ve been exploring personal style ever since.

By my thirties, I fully leaned into a look that felt like me: a mix of vintage charm, classic silhouettes, and a little edge. I don’t exactly conform to one style. Around that same time, I realized I loved helping others find that same sense of ease and confidence in their clothes especially when it came to understanding different body shapes and how to dress in a way that feels both flattering and authentic.

That passion led me to become a Certified Personal Stylist and Color Analyst, trained and certified by a Certified Image Master one of only fourteen in the world, based in Fort Worth, Texas and to launch La Moda as a space where style feels personal, approachable, and fun.

I believe personal style is a reflection of community, diversity, and creativity. No two people are the same, and that’s what makes style so exciting. I love working with clients from all walks of life and helping them express who they are through what they wear.

Sustainability is also a big part of my philosophy. I’m all about using what you already own, investing in quality pieces, and embracing secondhand fashion as a creative (and budget-friendly) way to build a wardrobe that lasts and feels meaningful.
