Questions?
You can start chatting with Kristin before you get started.
I’ve been making, styling, and experimenting with visual identity for as long as I can remember. The mall was my playground, theater gave me a reason to step into costume, and my mother’s closet was a magical place where deadstock fabrics became one-of-a-kind creations on her 1960s Singer. By high school, I was staging Polaroid fashion shoots with friends and covering my bedroom walls with pages torn from Vogue and Elle. That early curiosity eventually expanded far beyond clothing. I studied photography, graphic design, marketing, and cultural anthropology, fascinated by the ways image and context shape how we perceive people and the world around us. I began my career in advertising and publishing before finding my way into wardrobe styling and costume design, and over the past two decades my work has continued to evolve across entertainment, fashion, media, e-commerce, education, and creative production. Along the way, I’ve collaborated with more than 70 brands and networks, including Netflix, Disney, Google, Mercedes-Benz, Nordstrom, and Goop, and worked with everyone from actors and executives to entrepreneurs and emerging creatives. I’m naturally curious about people: who they are, what they’re trying to become, how they want to be perceived, and what might be getting in the way. That curiosity shapes the way I work with others. I tend to ask a lot of questions, look for connections that may not be immediately obvious, and combine creative thinking with practical, real-world experience to help people find an approach that feels genuinely their own.

Kristin’s Luxury & Fashion Qualifications
Experience level: Director
I bring more than 20 years of experience across fashion styling, costume design, image consulting, to advertising, entertainment, retail, and branded content. I have styled celebrities, performers, executives, entrepreneurs, and private clients, and have prepared talent for photo shoots, on-camera appearances, personal branding, and other public-facing opportunities. My work has included projects for more than 70 brands and networks, including Nordstrom, Goop, Google, Mercedes-Benz, Netflix, and Disney. My expertise includes both the creative and technical sides of fashion, including brand and industry knowledge, garment fit and construction, textiles and materials, proportion, trend analysis, sourcing, styling, and visual communication. I have taught fashion styling and fashion business at the university level and coached on-camera talent to speak confidently and accurately about fashion, products, fit, and styling. I support aspiring stylists and fashion professionals with developing their skills, building portfolios, gaining experience, working with clients, and navigating freelance careers. I also help individuals use fashion and image strategically through personal style development, visual branding, wardrobe planning, photo-shoot preparation, and on-camera presentation.

Why do I coach?
Coaching matters to me because I built much of my career without a dedicated mentor. I was fortunate to have people who encouraged me to take risks and pursue opportunities, but most of what I learned came through trial and error, professional experience, and observing different employers and collaborators. That process taught me a great deal, but it also required significant time, energy, and persistence. I coach because I want to help others make sense of the industry sooner, recognize the value of their skills, and move forward with clarity and confidence.
