About Us
As a teenager, I was captivated by women leaders whose elegance, confidence, and presence spoke before they ever said a word. Their quiet strength, self-assurance, and authenticity left a lasting impression that planted the seed for what would ultimately become my life’s work.
That early inspiration led me to pursue a degree in fashion merchandising, earn an image consulting license, and train in Hollywood makeup artistry. Over more than 35 years, I have intentionally woven these disciplines together into a holistic, wellness-centered approach that honors both inner confidence and outward expression.
Rhoda Design Group was created to empower professional women who aspire to greater leadership roles to align their image with their values, voice, and vision. When a woman feels confident in how she presents herself, she moves through the world with clarity, credibility, and self-trust to naturally attract greater influence and opportunity.
