About Us
At Rhoda Design Group, we believe true presence begins with authenticity, wellness, and confidence. For over 20 years, we’ve helped professional women and corporate teams elevate their leadership presence so their brilliance shines through in every interaction.
My own journey began as a young woman inspired by extraordinary female leaders in my community who gave generously of themselves and empowered others to succeed. Their influence inspired me to refine my own image and dedicate my career to helping other women do the same.
That path led me to Southern California, where I earned a BA in Fashion Merchandising, an Image Consulting License, and a Makeup Artistry Certificate while studying under the legendary Hollywood Stein family. Over the next 35 years, I had the privilege of working with luxury fashion and beauty houses, including 11 years with YSL and 10 years with Chanel. These brands taught me to master the art of makeup as an extension of personal style, honoring the beauty of diverse cultures.
Because 93% of communication is nonverbal, appearance and presence are foundational to building trust. As a Hollywood-trained Image Brand Strategist and Makeup Artist, my mission is to help clients align their nonverbal cues with their message so they are perceived as confident, credible, and inspiring thought leaders.
Our framework is rooted in wellness, ensuring that every strategy addresses the whole person for authentic and sustainable impact. This approach is reflected in our signature offerings:
- Executive Beauty Masterclasses: hands-on sessions that empower women to refine their image with ease and confidence.
- RDG Executive Makeup Kits: trademarked, TSA-approved kits designed for busy professionals of all cultures, providing beauty solutions that are both elegant and convenient.
- Color Analysis Service: developed in collaboration with color expert Alice Rock, our unique system helps women discover the perfect RDG Executive Makeup Kit to harmonize with their skin tone, wardrobe, and lifestyle to ensure every detail enhances their natural presence.
- Virtual Presence Essentials: practical strategies for showing up with confidence in today’s digital world. From the way lighting and camera angles influence perception to wardrobe choices that reinforce credibility, we provide clients with the tools to create meaningful connections and lasting impact in every virtual interaction.
From this passion, the Rhoda Design Group Image Consulting Boutique was created with intention, where innovation, elegance, and wellness intersect. For 20 years, we’ve elevated the leadership presence of TEDx speakers, CEOs, C-Suite executives, and corporate teams, guided by our unwavering core values of integrity and excellence.
Here’s to empowering more leaders to rise with presence, confidence, and timeless style.
