Styled.

​

I've been called

critical,

persnickety,

negative,

nitpicky,

painstakingly meticulous.

 

And I've been known to

ruminate,

perseverate,

meditate,

contemplate,

cogitate,

deliberate,

pontificate...

 

I minimize in an effort to maximize,

philosophize in order to optimize,

concretize as a means to existentialize.

 

Perhaps others would have self-help-booked or counseled their way out of this seemingly contradictory quandary of an existence. Rather than discard the paradoxical parts of me or force myself to change, my way out was through: to lean into and productively respond to my insatiable quest for perfection. Evolving as a professional and gaining confidence in my strengths empowered me to transform my impulses into assets - shifting from perceived criticism to precision. I learned to channel the visceral instincts that once overwhelmed me into constructive, intentional tools: for clarity, for beauty, for alignment.

Styled.byAlliB held space for this instinctive, informal, unofficial, off-the-cuff, ad-hoc editing, consulting, and fashion styling I was naturally doing. The fusion of form and function, instinct and insight. It's where my unsolicited "two cents" were reframed as priceless feedback, worth far more than $0.02.​ I was convinced that the name and various offerings explained the bizarre intersection of my interests and skills, provided the way to pursue it all, and gave me a false validation of my value and purpose.

​​

As of late, I’ve grown way more comfortable hanging in the messy middle — where creativity meets curiosity, and values meet reality.

This website now holds space for my evolving digital studio.

There's wisdom in the everyday.

A place for thoughts, fragments, questions, and things I want to remember — until I figure out what they want to become.

Thoughts like seeds deserve a place to root and grow.

Alignment is more compelling than achievement.

No pressure. No performance. Just presence.

 

If something here resonates — a line, a feeling, a question — welcome to my mind maze —

there’s music, meandering and no right answers.  

I'm sharing what I know to be true.

And perhaps connecting along the way.
