About Heidi Brubaker
My Colorful Past
15 years ago, God presented me with an amazing opportunity to serve women. I was hired by a non-profit organization, to help women become, and remain, successfully employed. Part of landing the job is having the right look! During the 5 years I worked as a boutique coordinator in my hometown, I suited more than 400 women using donated clothing and accessories. They wore sizes 00-4X, each with different body types and personalities.
My artistic creativity was not only helpful, it was absolutely necessary.
Once hired, each woman came back for a week’s worth of clothing to get her working wardrobe started. I was creating “capsule wardrobes” before I knew capsule wardrobes were a thing!
My attention to detail and keen eye for style seems to have been imbedded in my DNA, as my dad made decisions about color every day in his work with a construction company that helped churches to expand or renovate. Using it makes me feel as though I’m tapping into a purpose God thoughtfully tucked into my head and heart...so I can teach women how to appreciate His artistry and value their natural beauty.
In 2012, I completed a certification in Christian Image Consulting through Fashion Meets Faith, under founder, Shari Braendel. (The company is now known as Style by Color, and I serve as their Communication and Design Manager!) What Shari taught me has become invaluable in my work. I continue to study with Style by Color and complete advanced training each year, along with maintaining my expertise on industry trends each season. I also served as a member of Style by Color's first Style Squad, coaching women through online services that allowed me to view their closets and assist them with purchases.
I've had the opportunity to serve as a judge for the 4-H Textile Review of PA's Central Region, speak to various women's groups, including both the Harrisburg Area Women's Connection & Hershey Area Women's Connection, and present as a breakout speaker for several women's ministry events
throughout South Central PA.
In addition to my image consulting business, I own a social media and graphic design business that helps other image consultants style their online presence, The Social Style Kit.
I'd love to help you fall in love with your personal style using color -
Heidi
