Experience the ultimate San Diego color analysis in a private La Jolla studio overlooking the Pacific with a master-trained color analyst using the 16, 23/35 seasonal methods. At The Color Theory Collective, you'll get a luxury experience combined with a level of precision that goes beyond the standard draping. We hate hidden fees, so for the price of a standard consultation, you receive a professional color swatch wallet featuring accurately dyed—not printed—fabric to take home, along with an in-depth, personalized color report. It is a comprehensive, high-end transformation designed to give you lifelong confidence in your wardrobe. We'll cover your signature power colors, makeup and hair harmony, jewelry finishes, and even an initial conversation about building your capsule wardrobe strategy.
Avoid expensive closet mistakes and discover a more vibrant, elevated version of yourself with a personal color consultation that bridges the gap between expert color theory and effortless style.
I am a San Diego mother and wife who founded The Color Theory Collective because I am passionate about color, fashion, and helping people look their best. Think of me as an interior designer for your face. Prior to having kids, I spent my career in fashion—from the Merchandising office at Levi Strauss & Co. HQ to the fast-paced world of a luxury fashion startup. I’ve always had an eye for style, but it was my own experience with an expensive, and more importantly, inaccurate color analyses that sparked my obsession with color seasons. The kind of service I wanted as a customer didn't exist in this market, so I set out to build it myself.
I've poured myself into this practice of color and style in a way that borders on obsession, and I truly believe that passion translates to the best experience you'll find in this business. I am master-certified in the 23/35-season, 16-season methods, and have also trained in the 12-season method. While am certified in all these systems, I specifically focuson the 16-season system for my clients because I find it perfectly balances the simplicity and precision needed for practical wardrobe application. I do dive into the 23 seasons when necessary, with the clients approval.
This work is my world; I’m using my industry experience to provide an accurate analysis and a roadmap for leveraging it that doesn't just hand you a color palette and best wishes, but helps you tailor your fashion choices to your most vibrant, authentic self.
