“I have worked with Stevie on a few different occasions over the years. She has walked me through an entire closet edit and helped shift my mindset from fast fashion pieces to quality pieces that I will always have in my closet. She has guided me through fashion as a new mother, as a business owner, and even curated my new stay at home mom wardrobe. Anytime I have a shift in lifestyle, I trust her with creating new looks and sourcing quality pieces that I know I’ll keep forever. She does a perfect job of balancing understanding and honoring my personal style and comfort level while also pushing me to explore new options.”
-APRIL JOHNSTON | HAIR STYLIST & SALON OWNER
“I connected with Stevie via a client shoot we worked on together, and was immediately drawn to her relaxed yet intentional approach behind her styling. I reached out to collaborate with her on a magazine submission, and she went above and beyond to make herself available in the midst of her busy schedule. The care she puts into the pieces she selects, and how she styles them is something I greatly appreciate. We had a short window to work in, yet she never seemed stressed under the pressure. She’s truly a professional with her cool demeanor and consistency in creating stunning results. I’m truly excited I was able to work with her, and look forward to any opportunity where our paths may cross again in the future. I would recommend her to anyone looking for a stylist who cares deeply about their craft, as it clearly translates in her work.”
-DANIELA BROWN | CREATIVE DIRECTOR & BRAND STRATEGIST
“I hired Stevie when my personal styling business reached a point where managing all client deliverables on my own and growing the business simultaneously became impossible. Initially nervous about outsourcing client work, my concerns quickly vanished when I started working with Stevie. Simply put, she's an exceptional support. Stevie possesses some rare and immensely valuable talents as a personal stylist that you would be hard pressed to find anywhere else. She not only has extensive experience supporting other personal stylists, she has run her own business for many years and works with the efficiency that only an industry insider can. She brings a wealth of knowledge about brands, what it takes to create visually interesting outfits for lookbooks, and knows how to shop for different body types. Hiring Stevie is among the top three best investments I've made for my business. Run to get on her calendar before her schedule fills up with other styling commitments, because it's only a matter of time.”
-NICOLE OTCHY | PERSONAL STYLIST
“Stevie has styled me for multiple photo shoots throughout my dance career. I’m always nervous to be in front of a camera, but Stevie’s experience, competence and easygoing demeanor made me feel confident and excited. She was able to source amazing items within my budget, and put together looks that complement my body type and personality. It’s a good day on set when Stevie has put her signature touch on my wardrobe.”
-MARCELLA GIL | AERIALIST
“If you run a small business, you know how it can feel like your baby at times, a vital extension of you, and probably a major part of your identity. Allowing someone into the inner workings is scary, and letting go of stuff that feels like ONLY YOU can do seems impossible. When I met Stevie I knew I desperately needed help with my solo personal styling biz, but I felt overwhelmed with the idea of explaining everything to someone, and worried that anyone interested enough with the job would probably have at least a tinge of a competitive vibe around them. As if she were sent to me by an actual angel, I knew instantly that Stevie was the perfect person to support me in my business. She was able to swiftly get me, my business' vibe and voice, and disarm me with her easy personality and confident point of view and eye. She made it clear that she wasn't here to take over or become me, but she definitely knew how to make everything better about my job (plus she is just so fun to be around!). I trusted her with stuff that had bogged me down for years and I never imagined I would be able to delegate, so I was able to take on bigger projects and grow my business because Stevie's help gave me so much more space to grow and dream. So if you're bogged down but scared, do yourself a favor and engage the support of Stevie in your business because it might be the smartest thing you ever did for yourself!”
-LAUREL KINNEY | PERSONAL STYLIST
“Before working with Stevie, I felt like I couldn't express my personal style in a professional way. I'd spent so many days (and years) dressed in clothes that made me feel uncomfortable. I'm a creative person, but dressing my body wasn't something that came easy for me, or something that I enjoyed. Stevie helped me build a wardrobe that I can mix and match for any occasion, and most of all, feel confident wearing. She helped me sort through my existing wardrobe, edit it down to the pieces that I love, and gave me a blueprint of what I need to look for. Getting dressed in the morning doesn't suck anymore, and I owe it all to Stevie. She's helped me express my personal style at every stage of my career, and I would recommend her to anyone looking to upgrade their wardrobe. Working with her is an investment that always pays for itself, and I continue to look forward to our style sessions together.”
-KATE ZANDER | ART DIRECTOR & DESIGNER
“I have always second guessed my fashion sense, and have had the desire for my appearance to match my personality. After I met Stevie, she made me realize that my sense of style is correct, because it's mine. She made me feel confident about my appearance and choices. She not only found me amazing pieces but made suggestions that give my look the extra touch it needs. I feel totally myself now because of Stevie. Her creative, sweet and talented guidance has allowed me to feel more confident and successful in my world.”
-MIMI SOLUM | MIXED MEDIA ARTIST
“It is not an exaggeration to say that when I met Stevie, a significant amount of stress was removed from my daily life. I didn't even realize how much time and energy I needed back in my business, and with Stevie's support, I got it back. I had immediate trust in her and my clients have loved the pieces she has selected for them. She asks great questions to help ensure that she gets it right for my clients, and I've loved her fresh perspective and the new brands she's introduced me to! I appreciate Stevie's quick response and she's always delivered projects in the timeframe we set. Stevie is so talented and I feel so lucky to be able to work with her. Working with Stevie has helped me level up in my styling business and I'm so grateful for her support!”
-ERIN STOLL | PERSONAL STYLIST
“For years I struggled with what to wear even though I have a closet full of clothes. I decided to hire Stevie to help simplify my life. Wow, what an amazing difference! Instead of standing in front of my closet or having a bed full of discarded clothes in the morning, I go to a simple app to pick an item I want to wear and see what outfits I can build. By updating my closet with some new items, clearing out a bunch of others, I now have a closet that is organized, coordinated, and simple to pull fun outfits together. Not only is my life simpler, I get compliments on all the outfits I wear. If you are considering a stylist, hire Stevie - she's GREAT!”
-WENDY PEASE | PRESIDENT, rapport international
“I got in touch with Stevie when I was starting my first semester of grad school in New England after several years of living by the beach in Southern California. My wardrobe had almost nothing to match the professionalism and style (not to mention warmth!) required of my new life path. She took the time to show me not only how to compliment my unique body type (totally enlightening and makes such a difference), but also worked within my professional requirements, style, and clothing budget. I was blown away at how thorough her process was. her approach is kind intuitive, thoughtful and she is just fun to work with!”
-rachel young | art historian
“Stevie is a rockstar stylist! She’s always been able to work within our budget while still providing extensive variety. She also has a great rapport with both the artists and photographers…the consummate professional!”
