Hello! I’m Katie Portman, a 40 year old mum of two, writer by trade and sequin lover! Words are all I have really known professionally for the past two decades so this course is very out of my comfort zone but I’m so excited to be doing it.
I’ve worked for myself for the past ten years as a freelance writer and professional blogger. I’m also an author.
Why this course? Well I’ve always been very passionate about helping women to feel better about themselves. (It’s the theme of my book in a nutshell and what my blog is essentially all about.) Plus I’ve always been obsessed with fashion and style.
Still though, like many mums, I lost my style identity after having two children in my thirties and so a couple of years ago I had my colours analysed, followed by a style class. And boy did it change everything!
I literally went from being the woman who said to the stylist “I don’t think you’ll ever get me out of black” (oh, how wrong I was!) to a woman who now thoroughly embraces wearing colour and loves experimenting once again with fashion.
At forty, I finally feel like I’m showing the world whom I truly am through my words and my style. My hope now, is that by training to be a personal stylist, I can help other ordinary women to feel just as happy and fabulous in their own glorious skin. (Whilst having a perfectly valid reason to invest in more sequins, of course. ;-))
Thanks ever so much for the opportunity!
Katie
