What inspired you to become a stylist?
I saw there was a need for me. A little over five years ago, an influential faith leader approached me, seemingly, noticing my style, and saw how I could help him with his own. I had no experience in this area, but I took what came naturally and formed an outfit for him to wear to his event. That look sparked conversation on his social media, which led to questions about who styled him for his event. Since that moment, I’ve been approached consistently by people wanting me to dress them, and that’s when my career as a stylist began.
What are some skills needed for a good stylist?
To be a good stylist, you must listen to your client’s needs. Being a good stylist requires you to imagine your client’s image beyond where they are. It’s ensuring that you keep your client happy by enhancing their image and keeping it true to their brand.

What keeps you motivated in such a competitive industry?
When you focus on your goal and what you want to achieve, it is easy to stay motivated. Your dreams require your full attention, and you cannot reach them without analyzing where you are, where you want to be, and what it takes to get there. I rely on my faith, pray, and always work in positive environments. Seeing the transformation of a satisfied client also keeps me motivated to continue this journey.

Tell us about your most proud moment as a stylist and who the talent was.
My most proud moment as a stylist was given the job of styling an artist and her background dancers for a global event. I had less than five days and only one fitting to ensure my client, and her dancers looked their best while also being comfortable when performing. The moment when I knew I had done a great job with that project was waking up the following day with a lot of press about the looks and my name in the credits of major magazines.

What does success look like for you?

Success for me is making a positive impact on all those I come in contact with. It’s waking up intending to change someone’s life by making them feel good about their appearance through styling.

What can people expect from you in the future?
I plan to continue to enhance the image of my clients and their brands. You can also expect expansion in my brand, and our reach globally. Our goal is to impact the culture in a positive way, one look at a time.
