Tell us what you did before image consultancy?
I was a registered nurse working in respiratory and intensive care fields.
What made you decide that it was time to do your training and take up this new career?
After helping a few friends shopping, I realised that I didn’t know what kinds of shapes and colours worked on body shapes and complexions different to my own! This frustrated me because I couldn’t help people as well as I would want. This made me search to find out the answers to these questions – and I found AOPI!
What are you passionate about?
– Empowering people to enjoy and utilise the power of fashion in their own lives
Who do you most enjoy working with? How do you love to help them?
– I particularly enjoy working with leaders, influencers, and professionals (both men and women)
– These people are often in the public eye, and as such, they require special wardrobe strategy to embody their values + vision
– Being in a place of leadership or influence isn’t an easy life. I want to assist them in the area of their wardrobe to take this important aspect of life off their plate – both for work, play and home.
– How a professional presents themselves truly changes the presence they carry, and thus has significant impact on personal brand perception. I want to help these people align their wardrobe so they can achieve their goals!
How does having a good image help people in their lives?
– Significantly increases internal confidence and self-esteem
– Increases performance
– Aids good mental health
– Fuels life goals and dreams
– Builds credibility
– Key method of non-verbal communication
How can you help people create a more impactful and relevant image for themselves?
– Create a Style Strategy – taking into account the person’s goals (life goals and wardrobe goals), personal brand messaging, personality, body shape and unique colouring.
– Work alongside a person to look at their current wardrobe and make all necessary adjustments and changes so that it aligns with their goals
– Training and workshops
