Get To Know Our Founder & CEO…
For Maegan Watson, style is more than what you wear. It’s a reflection of who you are—your goals and aspirations, an appreciation for art and beauty, a link between your internal sense of self and the external pressures of work, life and family. It can be difficult to visualize how such complex ideas play out in your wardrobe, but for Maegan, personal style is as nuanced as personality, and the perfect pair of pants, shoes, or even earrings can take you to new heights.
As a perfectionist, Maegan’s work is elevated by her attention to detail. As a creative, her work is inspired by the minutiae of daily life—from sunlight falling through the window to the form of her favorite sculpture or the sound of her children playing. But what truly differentiates Maegan’s work as a stylist for nationally-recognized, high-powered business women is her ability to deeply connect with them—as both a master of high-end fashion and business. Her understanding of the interconnectivity between style and power, coupled with her unmatched ability to care, uniquely equips Maegan to create a luxurious life filled with beauty and strength for her clients.
Maegan empowers her clients and team to pursue their best selves and bask in their own, unique beauty. It’s with this genuine love and attention that Maegan sets people free to show up in the world as the strong leaders they are, giving them the confidence to pursue higher goals and take on new ventures, just as Maegan herself has.
A revamped wardrobe is so much more than new clothes hanging in your closet, it’s a new lease on life.
