A focused shopping experience built around your personal style and everyday needs.
A More Personal Way to Build Your Wardrobe
We begin by identifying what you want your wardrobe to do better, whether that means creating more outfit options, refining your proportions, or finding pieces for a new season. I consider your existing clothing, preferred colors, lifestyle, and comfort so the recommendations feel relevant and wearable. The goal is a clear edit rather than an overwhelming list of choices.
I guide you toward versatile clothing, accessories, and finishing touches that can work across multiple looks. Along the way, I explain how each selection fits into your wardrobe and suggest practical ways to style it. You leave with a stronger sense of what suits you and how to make future shopping decisions with greater ease.

I bring sharp confidence and inspiration through expressive outfits, practical grooming, movement, and a mindset rooted in intention. My approach blends polished menswear and self-care with personality, creativity, and the ease of real life, proving that style (+ wellness) can feel both aspirational and genuinely your own. As a 2027 PhD graduate, I also share fashion and styling tips through a psychological lens.

## FAQ

### What kind of content do you create?

I create short-form video and social content centered on style, grooming, fitness, travel, and lifestyle. Depending on the campaign, that might mean a product feature, a get-ready-with-me, an outfit story, an event recap, or a look at an experience through my perspective.

### Who is your audience?

My Instagram audience is primarily men (70.7%), with the largest age group between 25 and 34 (61.4%). The United States is the leading country, representing 77.5% of my audience. My community also includes women (29.3%) and viewers across a range of ages and locations. (Instagram audience insights shown for the 30-day period ending November 2, 2026).

### What kinds of partnerships do you consider?

Depending on the brief, collaborations can include sponsored short-form video, product storytelling, event or travel coverage, and creator-produced content for a brand’s own channels. Each concept is shaped around the campaign goal, the platform, and how the product or experience can fit naturally into a compelling and engaging story.

### What makes a brand a good fit?

I’m drawn to brands with a clear point of view and something I can speak about honestly. The strongest partnerships connect with my interests and give my audience a useful, entertaining, or inspiring reason to care.

### How do you approach sponsored content?

I work with the campaign’s key messages while keeping the content personal and true to my voice. Every partnership is clearly disclosed, and I don’t make product claims or promises that can’t be supported.

### What results have your partnerships achieved?

My most recent Express collaboration generated more than 2 million views across Instagram, TikTok, and Facebook. Beyond brand partnerships, I connect with my audience through real stories and an intentional approach to everyday life. A storytime about accidentally attending the wrong wedding (12+ million views) resonated far beyond my own platforms, leading to a People Magazine Exclusive and an appearance on FOX News. I can share campaign details and platform-specific performance in a partnership conversation.

### Are you available for Chicago-based or travel opportunities?

I’m based in Chicago and open to select local and travel opportunities. When you reach out, please include the location, timing, and any event or production requirements.
