From my early days of meticulously planning school and weekend outfits to the seasonal reorganization of my closet, a love for clothing has always been intertwined in the belief that what we wear impacts how we feel and what we can accomplish. It makes me so happy to help people find their confidence with how they present themselves to the world everyday. 

 

Born and raised in Iowa City, my journey took an adventurous turn after studying Spanish and International Business at the University of Iowa. From studying abroad in Santiago, Chile, to living and working in London, I've soaked up style inspiration from diverse cultures across South America and Europe.

​

Returning from abroad, I moved to California, where I worked as a social worker for several years, teaching me the value of relationship building and connection. 

​

It wasn’t until I landed in Chicago and dove into the world of retail, clothing, and personal styling that I truly found my passion.

As the manager and buyer for three upscale family-run boutiques for 6 years, I had the privilege of helping women embrace their changing bodies during pregnancy. Transitioning to a tech retail startup, I expanded my expertise, styling both men and women of all shapes and sizes, who were eager to elevate their look but didn't know where to start.

​

It was in this unique space that I learned the intricacies of menswear customization.Offering men the ability to create garments from the ground up, using their own unique measurements and designing clothes that felt true to their personalities. 

​

Inspired to create a more personalized experience for all of my clients, I launched JRPS, where every styling session is tailored to your unique needs and preferences.​
