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 deep passion for the 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 balances both elegance and innovation.

After beginning my education in Studio Art at the University of Kentucky, I will graduate in May 2025 from Istituto Marangoni Miami with a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Fashion Styling. Throughout this journey, I have 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 professional career, I am filled with both gratitude and excitement for the opportunities ahead. Guided by God and driven by a profound passion for what I do, I am eager to embrace the future and see where my beautifully crafted place in the fashion industry will take me.
