The Fashion Dragon David and Goliath close up of the rock

I'm Tessa,

I'm a fashion stylist based in Miami, Florida, originally from Indianapolis, Indiana. My journey into fashion began with a passion for fine arts, which has shaped my unique perspective as a stylist. Drawing inspiration from the timeless works of history’s greatest artists, I’ve cultivated a creative identity that reflects both elegance and innovation.

After starting from a Studio Art education at the University of Kentucky, I will graduate from Istituto Marangoni Miami with a BFA in Fashion Styling in May 2025, where I’ve honed my skills and refined my artistic vision. My portfolio is a collection of editorial stories, each one capturing a distinct narrative through fashion.

As I step into the next phase of my career, I am filled with gratitude and excitement for the opportunities ahead. Guided by God and a deep passion for what I do, I’m ready to embrace the future and see what my beautifully unique position in the fashion world becomes.
