I am a New York-based stylist and creative consultant specializing in the intersection of luxury vintage, editorial storytelling, and operational excellence. For five years, I founded and operated my own brick-and-mortar boutique, Finn Vintage, where I managed the brand's full lifecycle, from sourcing and authentication to social media strategy and complex back-of-house operations. My extensive knowledge of both historical and contemporary trends has enabled me to style a diverse range of clients, accommodating various body types and sophisticated fashion sensibilities.
Originally from Los Angeles, my passion for visual storytelling eventually led me to New York City. I graduated from NYU Tisch School of the Arts with a BFA in Film & Television Production, a background that continues to inform my creative direction. My experience as a professional video editor for prominent publications, including Vogue and Nylon, sharpened my meticulous attention to detail and high standards for technical accuracy. These essential skills have proven invaluable in both boutique management and fashion styling.
In addition to my own venture, I have held leadership roles at Free People and Brooklyn Vintage Company, where I focused on driving team performance and operational excellence. My portfolio includes styling for brands such as TJ Maxx/Edelman and Milk Bar, alongside creative collaborations with the band Y La Bamba and more. This diverse background allows me to navigate the intersection of creativity and commerce, bringing a blend of versatility, technical discipline, and an "owner's eye" to every project.
