How a Social Worker Became a Sustainable Stylist
For as long as I can remember, I've loved finding hidden treasures in thrift stores.
But my path to personal styling wasn't through fashion school.
It was through social work.
For years, I worked with people navigating change, uncertainty, and major life transitions. I learned that confidence, identity, and self-expression are deeply connected to how we move through the world.
Eventually, I realized something important:
Many people struggle with their wardrobes for the same reasons they struggle with other life changes.
They're overwhelmed.
They're trying to fit into an old version of themselves.
They're carrying guilt, expectations, and decision fatigue.
And often, they simply need support.
That's how Thrift the District was born.
Today I help people build wardrobes that align with their lives, values, identities and goals.
My approach combines:
- •Sustainable style
- •Closet editing
- •Personal thrifting
- •Outfit creation
- •Practical wardrobe systems
- •Compassionate, judgment-free support
I believe style should feel accessible.
I believe sustainability doesn't require perfection.
And I believe everyone deserves to feel comfortable, confident, and fully themself.
When I'm not helping clients, you'll find me exploring local thrift stores, supporting small businesses, and connecting with the vibrant community that makes the DC area so special.
I can't wait to meet you.
