About Me - My Biography
I was an accountant and a style tragic (being the first doesn’t mean that you are the second)! I loved clothes but had no idea how to pull it all together. Sometimes I got it right, but ‘wow’ sometimes I got it very wrong. I had a wardrobe full of clothes, many of them costly mistakes and nothing mixed and matched. Having learnt the tricks and tools for creating a capsule wardrobe, I now works with individuals and organisations (such as KPMG, ANU, Canberra Airport and Beyond Bank) to help them create a polished and professional image. I understand that due to the demands of our busy lives, that clients want to simplify their wardrobes, invest in great pieces and save valuable time.
My Expertise
Before Style Liberation, I worked in the corporate sectors in London and Canberra. I’ve seen first-hand how many wrestle with those essential questions: how do you dress to project a confident, corporate edge? How do you balance personal style with expectations around your role? I’ve also see how simple changes in how we present can elevate a person’s whole outlook.
I’ve worked with clients from KPMG, the ANU, Beyond Bank and Canberra Airport, to one person start-ups. For every client, I bring insights on the latest trends in corporate attire and the enduring principles of professional etiquette. Just as importantly, I know how to make these insights relevant to the modern workplace.
My Passions
Every body is beautiful, Our bodies allow us to think, create, and experience this wonderful journey of life and achieve amazing things. I’m passionate about helping people look in the mirror and love what they see and in turn boost their confidence (it’s an easy win).
My Interests
Disability advocacy, eating out, karaoke (singing in the shower), and of course all things fashion related.
How I Can Help Other Members
Two of your most important assets are time and your personal brand. I get it. You’re busy with work and personal commitments, yet you want to create a polished and professional image that doesn’t require hours of investment every day (preferably 5 minutes). I help people by providing them with the tricks and tools of the trade, or for those short on time, I guide them through the entire process from discovering your style, decluttering and replenishing your wardrobe.
Why I Became a HerBusiness Member
The quality of business resources and learning opportunities led me to become a member of HerBusiness. Since I joined I’ve also signed up to the mentoring program and more recently the HerBusiness Marketing Mastermind group. Both have pushed me to achieve my goals and drive growth in my business.
