ANECDOTE

When I was little, I had to move from city to city all the time because of my father's job. It was hard for a shy girl to adjust to the new environments especially when she had to make whole new friends. In those days, I picked my favorite clothes in the morning. I felt that it helped me have more courage and confidence since they made me feel more comfortable and be myself with the expressions of my fashion. And I still do the same. 

​

When I worked in the design teams in various NYC fashion companies, I acquired the practical knowledge of how the fashion business in Manhattan runs thoroughly. I took charge of broad responsibilities from trends forecast to communication with all  departments including manufacturers overseas.

​

With those experiences, now I'm working as an image consultant and a stylist desiring to help people feel easy and comfortable approaching fashion. I've been studying personal color, color psychology, and styling. I continuously pursue to personalize the customers' stories into their style by connecting designs and colors. I'm also running several social media posting fashion trends, and reforming fashion items in creative ways. 

​

I believe that life has us keep challenging ourselves something or somewhere new in various ways. Meanwhile, we could feel frustrated yet evolved and find the better or best fit for us. I will keep challenging myself to broaden my perspective of fashion design and styling to make people feel more comfortable and confident in their garments.
