FAQ

Hi, I’m Kristin Bjorge — founder of The Self Styled and your Identity Architect.

The Self Styled is a creative consulting studio focused on personal image, aligned branding, and visionary self-expression. I recalibrate how you show up — visually, energetically, and professionally — so your presence reads clearly and coherently.

Whether you’re clarifying your visual identity, refining how you present your work, or aligning your positioning with your next phase, the process helps you embody your message with clarity and impact.

The Self Styled provides high-level consulting, creative direction, and strategic guidance. Services are advisory in nature and do not include done-for-you implementation.

You receive personalized insight, visual direction, and curated resources to support execution on your own or with your preferred support team.

Styling services are collaborative by design and require clear communication and active participation from the client.

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.

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.

The Through Line, Presence Strategy Session, and Virtual Support 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.

I work with visionary leaders, founders, and creatives 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 ready to step into your next era, we’ll likely be a good fit.

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.

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.

My energy is best used helping you 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.

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!
