My fashion career started on the shop floor, where I worked from the age of 14. By age 30 I was managing large teams for some of the biggest retailers in London’s West End - Anthropologie and Hobbs. I received a first in Fashion Marketing from The London College of Fashion where I also discovered my passion for sustainable fashion.
I became a style coach in 2016, and since then I’ve worked with some of the most incredible people - both in Brighton where I’m based and from all over the world - to uncover their unique style and to unleash their power through their clothes. I saw first-hand how overwhelmed and confused many felt when it came to dressing themselves, so I started to develop a process that gave people the confidence to express themselves and to build a wardrobe tailored to their lifestyle. I called it the Storey Style Method.
Using the Storey Style Method, I encourage people to discover their own style by understanding their style taste, ambition and natural style instinct. I use a style words method which will help every client to create a style that truly embraces who they are and ensures they are making the impression they desire. Finding my own style words has been an amazing way for me to unlock my own style and self belief and now I’ve helped hundreds of others do the same. I look forward to helping you too.
