I was born and raised in San Jose, California before moving to San Diego to get a Costume Design degree in Theatre and Film with a minor in business marketing. In 2006, I started my career as a wardrobe stylist for television dramas. I have worked with numerous celebrities including Eric Dane, Rhona Mitra, Bo Derek, Morgan Fairchild, and Joe Manganiello. Since then, I have expanded into commercials, editorials, and catalogue shoots, but my main focus is personal styling. As a personal stylist, I adore the diversity of my clients and the authentic difference I can make in their lives.
I believe personal style is exactly that, personal. There are no 10 must-haves for everyone. There is no trend or brand that fits all. I am passionate about protecting my clients from the waste and misinformation pushed on men and women by eager sales associates and overzealous media sources. I believe it is this passion and my ethos of efficiency that have made me the most sought-after stylist in San Diego.
In 2007, I created VSTYLE to deliver supplemental consulting to my female clients, and provide relevant fashion commentary for style-conscious women. Due to popular demand, I launched VSTYLE for Men to assist style-conscious men. VSTYLE has been featured in The Washington Post, InStyle Magazine, Reuters, The Zoe Report, and more.
In addition to the content on my blogs, you can also get free style and shopping advice from me by signing up for my monthly newsletter. I also post shopping recommendations on my Instagram account.
This is not a book about style, body types, fashion, or the best colors for every skin tone. If you don’t know those things yet, there are hundreds of books, quality resources, and courses that teach it. But this is the one and only book of its kind. It’s the handbook I wish I had when I first started my business – an efficient, 148-page technical business manual on how to become a successful personal stylist.
