The Inspiration

As a teenager, I was captivated by women leaders whose elegance, confidence and presence spoke before they ever said a word. Their quiet strength and authenticity left a lasting impression, planting the seed for what would become my life’s work.

That early inspiration led me to study fashion merchandising, earn an Image Consulting License and train in Hollywood makeup artistry. For more than 35 years, I have thoughtfully woven these disciplines together, creating a holistic, wellness-centered approach that honors both inner confidence and outward expression.

The Vision

I founded Rhoda Design Group to empower professional women who aspire to greater leadership and influence. My work helps each woman align her image with her values, voice, and vision; not to become someone different, but to reveal who she is with greater clarity.

When a woman feels beautifully aligned with how she presents herself, she moves through the world with greater confidence, credibility and self-trust. Her image becomes a natural extension of her leadership, quietly communicating the distinction of her work and inviting meaningful opportunity.

Education & Luxury Industry Heritage

My career has also included the privilege of working with distinguished luxury fashion and beauty houses, including 11 years with Yves Saint Laurent and 10 years with Chanel. These experiences deepened my appreciation for artistry and the power of thoughtful detail—principles that continue to shape every Rhoda Design Group experience.

Today, I bring more than 35 years of expertise as an Image Brand Strategist, Makeup Artist, and Leadership Presence Expert, serving professional women, executives, and organizations with a highly personalized and intentional approach.

My Philosophy

True leadership presence emerges when image, identity and intention exist in seamless harmony.

Inspired by nature and shaped by artistry, my work is designed to reveal rather than conceal. Through balance, color and considered detail, I help each woman cultivate a presence that feels authentic, refined and entirely her own.

This is the Rhoda Design Group art of beauty: inner confidence given visible expression, professional presence composed with intention, and leadership beautifully aligned with purpose.
