Kim Crowley - Personal Stylist

Kim Crowley | Founder Style Sense

I’m Kim Crowley, Sydney’s leading personal stylist and the founder of Style Sense.

I’d built a successful business after a move from Fashion Design to Styling, but for a long time, I’ve felt like I was running on a hamster wheel. My business lacked structure and scalability. I was working harder than I wanted to and couldn’t see a clear way forward to grow sustainably or strategically.

That’s why I decided to work with Angela.

The challenge in my business

Before working with Angela, my days were consumed by back-to-back client work, leaving little space for reflection or planning. I had big ideas but they were scattered and unstructured. I knew there was potential to do more, to make a greater impact, and to create a business that worked for me – not just one I worked in. But I couldn’t see how to get there.

The experience of business mentoring

We started with an intensive workshop where Angela and I put everything on the table – my ideas, challenges, goals, and opportunities. It was a mind-expanding experience that gave me the clarity and focus I’d been missing. From there, we’ve had regular mentoring sessions throughout the year, where Angela has been a constant and invaluable sounding board.

The Transformation I’ve experienced:

From our very first conversation, Angela brought a sense of clarity, confidence, and focus that was infectious. She has this incredible ability to step back, take in everything, and connect the dots I couldn’t see. Angela didn’t just listen – she also reflected my aspirations back to me with clarity and created actionable strategies that felt exciting and achievable. It was like she was holding up a mirror to my best self and saying, “Look – this is what’s really possible.”

Angela didn’t come with a one-size-fits-all approach. Everything she did was tailored to me—my strengths, my aspirations, and the unique essence of my business.

During 2024, the impact of our work has been profound. My business has evolved into something I’m not just proud of, but deeply excited about.

Here are some of the biggest changes:

  • Clarity and structure: Angela helped me organise the “grey areas” of what I do into clear, structured frameworks and processes like the Colour Capsule Wardrobe©, My Foundational Four, Principles of Smart Casual, Impact Styling and more. These have become the backbone of my business, helping me communicate more effectively and position myself as a leader in both personal and corporate styling.

  • Repositioning with confidence: Angela guided me to refine my value proposition and step fully into my authority. She didn’t just tell me I was an expert – because she blends building your Self-leadership skills right alongside your business strategy, she showed me how to own it and communicate it effectively. Whether I’m speaking at high-profile events, being interviewed by the media or pitching my services to corporate clients, I now present myself and my work with elevated confidence.

  • Strategic adjustments: Together, we reshaped my services and pricing, removing offerings that weren’t serving me and focusing on high-value work. Angela also helped me set prices that reflect my expertise and the value I create, something I’d struggled with for years, and my clients are saying yes.

  • Renewed joy and energy: Angela’s guidance has reignited my passion for my work. I feel clear, energised, and more confident than ever.

  • Financial growth: My revenue has grown significantly, enquiries are flowing in and I have a waitlist. What’s more, now clients are even flying in from other states to shop with me, or drive for a 5 hour round trip for a colour analysis – it’s amazing!

  • A vision for my next chapter: For the first time, I have a clear roadmap for the future. I’m no longer reacting to what comes my way, I’m shaping my business with intention. Angela has shown me how to scale sustainably, aligning my work with my long-term goal of working less while earning more. What once felt like a distant possibility now feels absolutely achievable.

What Makes Angela Unique

Angela isn’t just a mentor – she’s a partner in your growth.

She has this incredible ability to step back, see the big picture, and connect dots you didn’t even know were there. Her blend of big-picture vision and detailed action planning is incredible – she doesn’t just give you ideas, she helps you turn them into actionable strategies that deliver real results.

If you’re a business owner who knows there’s more potential in your business but you’re not sure how to unlock it, I can’t recommend Angela highly enough. She’s a catalyst for transformation (even describing myself as Sydney’s leading personal Stylist is something I would not have owned before our work this year).

Working with her has been one of the best decisions I’ve ever made and I’d give her a 6-star review online if that were possible!
