How it all started.In 2017, I was given the best possible gift when everything I thought I knew about colour and how it showed up in my life was flipped upside down.
On an early morning in Las Vegas on a trip with friends for a conference, my friend Julie introduced me to colour analysis. She'd talked about it for months, but I didn't fully understand how it worked or exactly what I needed to change. I thought I knew my colours. With blonde hair and blue eyes, surely I was a spring, wasn't I? It was one of the few times in my life that I was left completely speechless as she tested colours against my complexion. I was overwhelmed and fell silent as I mentally sorted through my wardrobe, accepting that after 40 years of thinking I was a spring, I was, in fact, a summer palette. Colour has always been a natural extension of my everyday life. As a full-time graphic designer, I'm drawn to colours and the energies they exert. So, when I was told I was a summer, everything I thought I knew shifted. I didn't stop thinking about it for years as I searched for the right opportunity to learn more. After all this time and years of talking about colour analysis to anyone who would listen, I found my way into training and took the opportunity to fuel my passion, and with a lot of hard work, High Chroma was born. |
