Tell us about yourself
I grew up in the midwest with little access to fashion, but I would read every magazine cover to cover and dream about immersing myself in that world. My mom, an entrepreneur and small business owner, always inspired me to go after what I wanted, and fashion was always it. We'd often skip school to drive an hour and a half to our nearest Mall and spend the whole day together. Fashion has always been seen as a form of bonding & connection for me, and that's exactly what TWE has come to be.
I've spent the past ~9 years working in Fashion in the luxury fashion space & small business focused. I've lived in LA, NYC, and now Colorado, where I myself have been through many different lifestyle changes that have affected my style & how I want to show up in the world. I personally know how much confidence fashion & personal style brings me, and I want to do the same for my clients.
I have a true passion for what I do, and my clients motivate me daily. To know the feeling of being stuck in your style & wardrobe and being able to help my clients navigate that challenge makes me feel incredibly grateful and lucky. It's truly the reason I show up daily.
What's your biggest accomplishment as a business owner?
Helping 50+ women & counting address their style concerns head-on and help them achieve confidence through their wardrobes.
What's one of the hardest things that come with being a business owner?
Not being able to "turn off" or "log out" at a certain time. It's a never-ending grind & it can be difficult to know when to set boundaries or take a break, but it's also what keeps me motivated: knowing my daily work helps drive results.
What are the top tips you'd give to anyone looking to start, run and grow a business today?
- Launch fast & learn as you go. It doesn't need to be perfect; just start and tweak along the way.
- Stay consistent. Whatever you do, be consistent with it. It'll show to your clients & your business results.
- Mindset > everything else. You can be "doing" all the right things, but if you don't have a growth mindset, you'll likely never see the results you want.
