A Little About Me

As a former collegiate athlete, I’ve learned the value of persistence, adaptability, and celebrating progress over perfection—qualities that I bring to every part of my work. Combined with my certification in the TCI Color Method, these experiences allow me to approach color analysis with both precision and artistry. I’m passionate about helping women discover their confidence through tailored color recommendations that enhance your natural beauty and personal style.

When I’m not immersed in the world of color, you can find me with my family. I’m married to my wonderful husband, and our little girl brings so much joy and inspiration to my life. You’ll often find me snuggling our pug, enjoying a good book and coffee, or embracing intentional living with gratitude and love.

I’m so excited to walk alongside you as we elevate your confidence, your style, and your everyday. Let’s take this journey to cloud nine—together.

The TCI Method

The traditional 4 Season method only focuses on Winter, Spring, Summer, and Autumn, categorized as Winter and Summer (colors with blue undertones) or warm season: Autumn and Spring (colors with yellow undertones).

Did you know? …that 2/3 of humans are neither all warm or all cool. but actually need a mix of both? The majority of people need colors that are found somewhere in between – we call this color space – neutral.

The TCI Method of personal color analysis includes 8 neutral tonal spaces. These tones are found in between the original 4 seasons.  Altogether, the TCI 12 Tones encompass the full range of colors found in all human beings

3 Dimensions of Color

These tones represent 12 distinct areas of color space and are distinguished from one another based on the three dimensions of color; hue, value, and chroma.

HUE (Temperature): Do you need warm (yellow undertones), cool (blue undertones), or neutral (yellow/blue undertones)?

VALUE: Do you need lighter or darker colors in your palette?

CHROMA: Are colors with brightness and saturation better or do you need colors that are more soft and muted?
