"The Art of Dressing" summarizes my approach to fashion and philosophy of personal style, authenticity and image design.
Creating the best looking version of yourself is a personal, intimate and a holistic journey, and that’s what I envision my service to be.
This work is a creative process.
It is an individuals’ first opportunity of the day to express themselves through the vision of themselves throughout the day, It is the opportunity to connect with their mood, their emotions, their thoughts, and their intuition; all of which manifests as one chooses what to wear, how they want to be seen and accepted in the world for that day.
This process is the nature of art itself. The human body becomes a canvas, and clothes, shoes, and accessories become the paint; a different medium in which one expresses personality and individuality, as well as their many values and views.
Carefully tuning in and choosing an outfit for the day can elevate one’s mood. Similarly, we can control the way people view us and respond to us by dressing and carrying ourselves in certain ways. Randomly selected cute outfits often misrepresent us. We demand different types of attention with our presence, just by choosing what to wear.
Eventually and unavoidably, The Art of Dressing becomes the Art of Living; we cannot change the way we see and experience ourselves in this world, without having it create positive changes in other areas of our lives.

I have always loved the idea of helping people connect with the best that is within themselves. There are many ways to do that, but I chose clothing as my medium. Helping individuals to free themselves of societal misconceptions and stereotypical views of beauty; helping to brake through age barriers and other self-imposed obstacles; all in the hopes of bringing out one’s authenticity and unique beauty that we all possess.
My inspiration is coming from my own personal striving to understand myself therefore life.
I want to grow and expend in the best version of myself and pass that knowledge to others.
With the understanding that true change happens only when there is a shift in perception, my approach to designing and rediscovering individuals authentic style is a holistic and a healing journey.
We examine all four realms that we live in: physical, mental, emotional and a spiritual.
Through various techniques and work together in shifting these perceptions that no longer serve us, on a contrary holds us back. As a result we move forward in to a free, confident, self loving and self accepting version of ourself.

In terms of my formal education, I graduated from the New York Institute of Art and Design, certified in Personal Styling; I have a degree in nursing from the Medical School of Split, Croatia; a BA in teaching from the University of Split Croatia, and a
Community Mental Health Worker certificate from Douglas College; along with various other certificates related to Mental Health.
The Art of Dressing is a result of bridging my formal education with my true passion: personal and spiritual development. I studied and continuing to do so, Western philosophers and spiritual leaders, gurus and enlightened ones of the East, took a peak into many religions, but stuck with spirituality.
My spiritual roots are predominantly based on the extraordinary teachings of Swami Sivananda Radha Saraswati who gave me the tools to expand beyond my imposed limitations. Considering her my spiritual mother, I will forever be grateful to her for being the beacon on my path, teaching me how to navigate labyrinth of my mind and the life in general.
I have also studied Reiki, Rebirthing, Shamanism, dream analysis, different forms of Yoga, breath work, and Vipassana Meditation. I have an in depth understanding of the impact of trauma and the transformative power of the Post Traumatic Growth and EFT technique. I am always interested in learning about any new leading edge discoveries in Neuroscience and Quantum Physics, as well as overall the mind-body connection.
My quest for self discovery was present from an early age, growing more intense in my early twenties, and has continued to be my path ever since.
One might ask what all of this has to do with a personal style design. It has everything to do with it, because everything is to do with everything.
It goes like this:
It is all interconnected and if you want to change your looks you have to change the way you see yourself, and in order to see yourself diferent you need to change your inner dialogue, what means your have to change your thoughts, and when you change your thoughts you need to shift the energy and when you change your thoughts and shift your energy and you work with that on a daily bases, miracles become a regular occurrence. Easy!!!
But seriously unless you plow through this you can change your wardrobe and your looks every month and you will still be stuck in the same boat.
Change needs to happen within in order to stay. That is how ones authenticity is born.
When asked what do I do as a Personal stylist I often say: “I guide my clients to that seed of light in their consciousness, and I help them expand on it in all directions.”
I have noticed that focusing on love, kindness, acceptance, gratitude, forgiveness, light and other such qualities that we all have within us, made a big impact in my clients’ overall health, therefore joy for life that overall transformed their physical look,
