I've loved clothes my whole life, from playing 'dress up' as a child until now, styling at Mercantile Portland for the last 13 years. I love meeting such a variety of people. I love getting to know my clients, they become my friends. No two days are the same.

My personal style is simple, and classic with a twist. I love vintage and my go-to statement is a fun sock. 

I stay up-to-date on the latest trends by people-watching - both in-person and online.

Styling is a process of listening then suggesting and adapting.  I tell my clients not to be afraid to try new things, there’s no commitment. I love it when they say, 'I would have never tried this, but I love it!'

What's a common fashion misconception that you'd like to debunk?

That things are "in" or "out"
