I started my career in fashion at the age of 16 modeling at Macy’s in San Francisco for their in-house shows. I had the pleasure to meet fashion designers Norma Kamali, Calvin Klein, and Ralph Lauren. I knew at an early age my life would have something to do with fashion because after just one event I was hooked! Growing up surrounded by amazing fashion forward women; my mother, a former fashion model, grandmother, a seamstress who created her vision of high-fashion clothing and my Great-Aunt Mert who loved to be drenched in “Old Hollywood” glamour, I quickly became fashion-obsessed!

Today, more than 25 years later I continue to provide styling advice for top brands, retail stores, and everyday people.

McKelvy Consulting Group was founded in 2018 because I wanted to spend more time doing what I am most passionate about which is FASHION! I enjoy helping my clients find themselves and feel their best through fashion transformation.

As an entrepreneur, having balance and flexibility is especially important. I counsel executives balancing board meetings, work, travel, and buzzing social lives. I advise men and women going through major life changes such as job promotion, new career change and even divorce.

Whether their fashion goals are professional, personal or just-for-fun, I elevate and gently guide to educate each client to their full potential.

It is not just the clothes; it is the internal transformation.
