FAQ
The Self Styled is a creative consulting studio focused on presence, positioning, and identity-driven expression — for individuals and brands ready to show up clearly.
Founded by Kristin Bjorge, the work draws on over twenty years across entertainment, media, and fashion to help public-facing professionals 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 Personal Style Transformation, 1:1 Shopping, and Closet Curation in Phoenix, Arizona through mid 2026. From there, the model shifts toward virtual experiences and planned stops in major cities.
Interested in a custom personal experience? Reach out at hello@theselfstyled.com.
Image Direction, Closet Clarity, Visual Presence Review, and Private Consulting, are conducted virtually via Google Meet. Meeting details are provided upon booking.
+ 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 not 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-oriented 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?
Personal style is highly individual, which is why my work is rooted in strategy, refinement, and guided decision-making rather than generalized fashion recommendations.
Over time, I found that most clients benefit more from learning how to curate with intention than receiving ongoing shopping boards or trend-based styling suggestions.
If you're looking for sourcing inspiration, visit the Shop page to explore curated edits. I can also recommend the service or platform best suited to your goals through a private session.
+ 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!

+ What's your cancellation and reschedule policy?
All sessions require 48 hours’ notice for rescheduling or cancellation. No-shows or late cancellations are non-refundable. Sessions must be used within 60 days of purchase, unless otherwise stated.
+ What if I have a technical issue or don't receive a confirmation email?
You'll receive booking confirmations, meeting details, and any relevant instructions automatically. If you don't see an email within 10 minutes, please check your spam or junk folder.
If you're having trouble accessing a session or locating a confirmation, email hello@theselfstyled.com.
+ How do I choose the right offering?
If you're unsure where to begin, start with Image Direction or explore the Consulting page to find the direction that best matches your current goals, visibility needs, or level of support.
Because I work closely with each client, one-on-one availability is limited. For in-person experiences and ongoing consulting, I prioritize clients who feel like an aligned creative and energetic fit to ensure best outcomes.
+ Do you offer workshops, speaking engagements, or custom experiences?
Yes. In addition to private consulting, Kristin is available for custom experiences, workshops, speaking engagements, retreats, and select collaborative projects.
