  In 2010, I teamed up with Marina Monroe to found and invest in Stylehaüs, a first-of-its-kind, membership-based business to merge styling services with brick and mortar retail. We started with a small office and no storefront in 2011. By 2012, Stylehaüs had two locations: one on the famed Melrose Place, and the other at The Mondrian Hotel. By late 2012, press and clientele had established the credibility of Stylehaüs' model and it moved to it's now primary location at The Grove, a Caruso Affiliated property, one of the most-trafficked shopping centers in the country with 20 million visitors annually. Stylehaüs clients included Paris Hilton and the Kardashian family, and Minx Society called Stylehaüs “an experience like none other." Show less
