In this episode, I pull back the curtain on the world of styling, sharing my journey from an unpaid internship with a major hip-hop artist to dressing models for top Fashion Week designers like Vera Wang and Michael Kors. I break down the different types of styling, including celebrity, fashion shows, TV, and personal styling, explaining why I chose to focus on helping everyday professionals match their style with their message.

Learn about the realities of work-life balance in celebrity styling, the seasonality of Fashion Week, and why personal styling offers autonomy and fulfillment. Whether you're considering a career in styling or looking to refine your personal look, this episode is packed with insights, advice, and inspiration to guide you.
