hey! let's get to know each other
You have a closet full of clothes but nothing feels like YOU anymore.
​
Sound familiar? You're not alone. Most of my clients tell me they stick to the same 5 outfits while beautiful pieces hang unworn. You feel invisible in your own life.
​
At 40, I broke free from style paralysis. Now I help others do the same.
​
The Wardrobe Wake Up isn't just styling - it's closet therapy that transforms how you see yourself and show up in the world.
​
What happens when we work together:
​
-
You'll rediscover clothes you forgot you loved
-
Getting dressed becomes exciting, not overwhelming
-
Confidence ripples through every area of your life
-
You'll never waste money on "nothing to wear" again
​
The process: We start with your existing wardrobe, release what doesn't serve you, create looks that feel authentically YOU, then build an intentional shopping plan for any missing pieces.
​
This isn't about following trends. It's about connecting to your highest self through intentional style.

My Journey: From Style Paralysis to Style Freedom
​
At 40, I was stuck in the same cycle you might recognize: closet full of clothes, nothing felt like me, buying more hoping it would fix the problem. I invested in working with a top-tier stylist 1 year into her career (now the highest-paid in the country), and that transformation changed everything - not just how I looked, but how I felt about myself.
​
That shift was so powerful, I knew I had to share it.
​
Uplevel Redesign started as interior design, but client after client asked: "Can you help me with my closet too?" Each conversation revealed the same truth - we weren't just talking about clothes. We were talking about confidence, identity, and feeling seen.
​
Here's what I discovered: Most styling focuses on shopping for new. But the real magic happens when you rediscover what you already own and learn to see yourself differently.
​
This work is deeply personal. When you feel confident in your clothes, it ripples through everything - how you show up at work, in relationships, in your own life. You stop hiding and start living.
​
Sustainable fashion isn't just trendy, it's necessary! By transforming your relationship with your existing wardrobe, we're creating intentional living that's good for you AND the planet.
