I'm Raquel, a fashion style coach and engineer by training, dedicated to helping you unlock your most authentic style.
Fashion has always been my true love, but when it came to choosing a career, I took a little detour into the world of engineering and snagged myself a fancy MBA. You know, just wanted to prove to myself that I could do hard things.
Over the next 13 years, as I ascended the professional ladder, I felt this urge to let my creativity shine through my style. It was my way of reconnecting with what I love, especially in the midst of feeling disconnected from my career, and it worked! I cultivated a personal style that felt authentic and exciting.
When Covid disrupted life, giving me a moment for introspection, I realized it was time to realign my career. Summoning the courage to act on this revelation took a minute, but guess where I found the strength to embrace authenticity? Yep, in my wardrobe and my personal style!
Then, the big "Aha!" moment hit – clothes possess transformative power. Cultivating an authentic style externally can spark genuine decision-making in other areas of life.
Fueled by this realization, I embarked on a mission to create a framework to help other cultivate authentic personal style, free from external validation, mirroring my organic journey.
Leveraging my unique background, I transformed personal style into a teachable skill. I delved into the realms of beauty perception, color science, and the psychology and sociology of fashion. Not be a nerd - although I may in fact be one - but to establish a sturdy foundation from which individuals can make informed decisions and cultivate confidence in their style and wardrobe choices.

Caught up in the whirlwind of entrepreneurship, I found myself dedicating every ounce of energy to my business. It took a moment of realization to understand that as the face of my company, I needed to update my image to be the best ambassador for our brand. Nervous about public speaking and PR, I decided to enlist Raquel's expertise. She transformed the way I perceived personal style – not just a choice of clothing, but a skill to add to my arsenal. No longer willing to shy away in stores, I embraced the opportunity to refine my style. Now, equipped with the skill and confidence Raquel instilled in me, I not only love getting ready for engagements but see it as a powerful tool in my entrepreneurial journey.
Raquel's style guidance during my pregnancy was a true blessing! Not only did she effortlessly help me find stylish outfits for various occasions like baby showers, graduation, and babymoon, but her warm yet illuminating process boosted my confidence during this transformative time, enabling me to be more present and accepting of myself. Now, one year after we started working together, the positive changes have endured. I feel way more confident in my personal style than ever before!
In my fifties, amidst a new chapter in my personal life, I felt completely disconnected from my wardrobe. Working in a uniform didn't allow me to flex my style muscle, and I found myself lost. That's when Raquel entered the scene. She helped me rediscover what made me tick and recover the excitement of getting ready for dates and social events. Now, it feels like a new beginning – but in an authentic way, reflecting the true essence of who I am.
