The Self Styled is a creative consulting studio focused on presence, positioning, and identity-driven expression — for individuals and brands ready to show up with clarity and intent.
Founded by Kristin Bjorge, the work draws on over twenty years across entertainment, media, and fashion to help public-facing professionals and brands close the gap between who they are and how they're actually being perceived.
Whether you're stepping into a larger role, launching something new, or simply ready to show up more intentionally — this process aligns your visual presence with your direction so your signal is consistent and credible.

Here's how I see it:
Stylist — Focuses on clothing and visual aesthetics
Image Consultant — Advises on appearance and how it shapes perception
Brand Consultant — Positions identity through strategy and narrative
Creative Director — Oversees the full vision: concept, tone, design, and execution
I integrate all four. With a background in design, fashion, advertising, and brand strategy, I bring a multidisciplinary lens to how presence is perceived.
✦ How would you describe your creative approach?
As an interdisciplinary artist, my work is grounded in design and communication fundamentals, viewed through a psychological and cinematic lens. With a background in photography, graphic design, and fashion styling, I approach visual presence holistically — considering shape, texture, tone, silhouette, and story as interconnected elements.
My creative direction is shaped by a personal perspective that extends beyond traditional aesthetics. It draws from architecture, culinary arts, advertising, metaphysics, and quantum science. I’ve worked with a wide range of talent and everyday people, which sharpens my understanding of how presence functions in both expressive and practical contexts. The process blends artistry with strategy.
Yes — currently booking in-person Closet Curation, 1:1 Shopping, and Style Synthesis in Phoenix, Arizona through mid 2026. From there, the model shifts toward virtual experiences and planned stops in major cities.

Closet Clarity, The Through Line, and Presence Strategy, are conducted over Google Meet because it’s simple, secure, and doesn’t require clients to create an account. It allows us to connect face-to-face, record notes, and share screens when needed.

✦ What kinds of clients do you work with?
I work with leaders, founders, creatives, executives, public figures, and changemakers who are ready to align their presence with their purpose. Some are building personal brands, others are creating businesses, launching products, or moving through major transitions — all seeking more aligned visibility. If you’re stepping into your next era, we’ll likely be a good fit.
✦ What is and isn't included in your services?
The Self Styled provides high-level consulting, creative direction, and strategic guidance. All services are advisory in nature — you receive personalized insight, visual direction, and curated resources to support your execution.
This is not a done-for-you service. Implementation is yours to own, either independently or with your preferred support team. Styling services are collaborative by design and require clear communication and active participation.
Each offering is clearly described at booking so you know exactly what to expect before you commit.
✦ Why don’t you share client photos or project results?
I value my clients’ privacy and the integrity of our process. It’s always their choice whether to acknowledge my contribution — many prefer to keep our work confidential, as their private secret weapon behind the scenes.
✦ Why don't you offer style subscriptions or shoppable offerings?
My energy is best used teaching you how to refine and curate with intention. This isn’t a fashion-based service — it’s rooted in identity, helping you align how you want to feel and how you’re seen.
After many years of experience, it became clear that personal style can’t be generalized. That’s why everything I offer is built around guided personal reflection.
I also found that clients rarely use shoppable boards, many don’t end up ordering from them. If I shop for you and it misses the mark, we’ve lost time and momentum.
✦ How do you use Pinterest?
Pinterest is a powerful collaborative tool for visual direction. We may reference the platform to refine or inspire your style, brand aesthetic, and creative energy. Many clients use it to gather inspiration images ahead of a session to showcase their desired vibe. If you’re a visual thinker, feel free to create a board to share your inspiration with me — or the world!
