About the speaker

Tim, a visionary in the fashion industry, has always had an innate sense of style, deeply influenced by his fashionable parents. Growing up, his mother ensured that he and his siblings presented themselves impeccably in public, embedding a keen fashion sense from a young age. His journey into fashion was further nurtured by his grandmother, with whom he crafted runway-ready looks even during his middle school years. This unique blend of familial influence and early hands-on experience sparked a lifelong passion for fashion.

Eleven years ago, Tim channeled this passion into founding his own fashion consulting business, Paisley360. Throughout his career, he has embraced challenges with resilience and a positive outlook, often combating self-doubt with a steadfast belief in his abilities. His dedication to his craft has not gone unnoticed; he was honored in October 2016 by GQ magazine for his exceptional fashion work with Career Gear Houston/New York and again in October 2018 for his on-site stylist work with a non-profit organization for men.

Tim's expertise spans across style consulting, runway coaching, and fashion designing. His deep knowledge of fabrics, body types, and personalities, combined with his professionalism, sets him apart in the industry. An experienced stylist, Tim has demonstrated his skills by working with various celebrities and public figures both locally and nationally. He has also appeared on television as a fashion consultant and commentator with CBS affiliates and cable outlets.

Growing up creative, thanks to his grandmother's influence, Tim learned to play the piano, sew, crochet, garden, and even do construction. These diverse skills have contributed to his multifaceted approach to fashion and creativity. Despite facing a severe speech impediment as a child, which turned him into a great listener, Tim has emerged as a respected voice in fashion. His ability to listen and understand clients' needs, coupled with his creative vision, continues to drive his success and innovation in the world of fashion.
