A curated look at my work in personal styling, seasonal edits, and visual storytelling.
Style Philosophy
I combine design principles, expressive arts, and a psychology-informed understanding of self-image to create personal style that feels intuitive, confident, and effortlessly put together. Below, you’ll find a selection of mood boards, and curated edits that reflect the Velvet & Pearl aesthetic: timeless, thoughtful, and quietly bold.

She picked out things that I wouldn’t have chosen on my won but that feel perfect for me. Everything works together, and I feel more put-together than ever.” Adrian D., Los Angeles
