Colour has been part of my story for as long as I can remember - especially purple. Long before I could walk, I was drawn to it, and that early fascination never left. Over the years, that curiosity turned into experimentation (including wearing nearly every shade from my seasonal palette as hair colour - sometimes all at once), and even a habit of advising my mother on what she should wear to work.

For the last several years, I have been conducting personal colour analyses, and what began as a lifelong passion has now evolved into The County Colourist.

What started as instinct has grown into a refined understanding of how colour works in harmony with each individual. Because the truth is simple: when you look good, you feel good. And when someone says, “you look great in that outfit,” what they’re really noticing is how the colour enhances your natural features; your skin, your eyes, your presence.

This is the foundation of my approach. It’s never just about the clothing - it’s about how it brings you to life. The goal isn’t simply to wear something beautiful; it’s to be the focus of what you wear.

At The County Colourist, I help you discover the colours that naturally elevate you, so you can show up with confidence, ease, and a sense of alignment in everything you wear.

Colour has always been the story - I just help you read it.
