What My Clients Say

About Working Together

Tenley is a master at creating styles and looks using what is already in your closet! She is my go-to for every photo shoot, and I consider her part of my style team. She puts outfits together in ways I would never think of. She has helped me to prepare creative professional looks for work, gather together outfits for events, and she makes photoshoot prep a breeze. She has a very special gift and I highly recommend using Tenley's talents to spiff up your wardrobe or find a whole new style. It’s also a super fun and rewarding process. I always walk away feeling more beautiful and confident.

Joetta Johnson

CFO at Priestess of Finance

I can’t thank Tenley enough for her incredible help in putting together outfits for my first Burn. Watching her work was pure magic; her alchemy in crafting fun, confidence-inspiring looks for the playa was amazing. Tenley has an incredible eye for style and truly transformed the few clothes I had, making everything pop in ways I never imagined. I felt fabulous and ready to embrace the experience, all thanks to her talent!

Will Blount

Owner of Ruff Wear

My wedding dress was very simple, so when I initiated our 22nd wedding vow renewal, I wanted to recreate my original dress to reflect who I am now. Working with Tenley was fantastic, seriously magical, and downright fun. She expertly guided me from my ideas, to finding fabrics, to a finished product that makes me feel like a queen! Not only did Tenley explore ways to update the old dress to new, she helped call forth who I was becoming through the process. This wasn’t just creating a garment, it was a transformational experience!
