TEEKS NGO
As an artist and creative consultant, T.K. understands both the vulnerabilities that can come up when exploring creativity and aesthetics, and the overwhelm that can emerge when trying to distill a huge universe when creating a brand, a space, and or finding the right pieces to build an authentic and cohesive narrative.
T.K. uses her aesthetic expertise, technical design background, personal empathy, and keen eye for detail to work with clients in understanding their personal goals so that she can help save time & money and provide a custom plan, tools, and elements to fit the brief.
T.K.'s approach to creative consultation, design challenges, and styling is through personalized vision and goals-based execution, designed to ensure her investment of eye, experience, time, heart, and energy is aligned with each client's personal objectives and their meaningful investment in working with her.
While T.K.'s interest in art, design, and fashion began as a toddler playing with clay in her mother's ceramics studio and choosing fabrics for homemade dresses with her mother, she first immersed herself deeply into the industry in 2011. In lieu of formal design schooling, T.K.'s practicality & curiosity about the technical elements of garment design & construction and how they manifest in they way a piece drapes & fits on each unique individual led her to move to southeastern Vietnam where she worked in a menswear garment shop learning about technical fit, design, pattern-making, and sewing tailored suits with non-electric, manually-powered machines built in the 19th century.
T.K. then spent nearly a decade working at the intersection of Fashion & Technology before she decided to challenge herself & grow further in the field of technical product management; the development of T.K.'s personal empathy, attention to detail, goal-orientation, and organization from those chapters of her life now serve her clients very well today!
The last few years of massive change in our world and in T.K.'s life (now as a mother of a budding style icon) enlightened her to seek more personal, human connectivity in her work & drew her back towards her higher calling to guide & serve others through aesthetics, creativity & style. She thinks of herself as a creativity and aesthetics guide for her clients & gets so much joy from working with each of them through the unique chapters of life they're living.
T.K. is currently based in San Francisco, California
with clients in California, New York, & (seasonally) Black Rock City.
She's available for non-local and remote clients. Just ask :)
