We’re excited to introduce you to the always interesting and insightful Demi Mejia. We hope you’ll enjoy our conversation with Demi below.
Demi, thanks for joining us, excited to have you contributing your stories and insights. Let’s jump right into how you came up with the idea?
I’ve always had a natural eye for styling—my friends would constantly ask me to put together outfits for them, and I genuinely enjoyed helping them look and feel their best. I would find the best deals and pieces that matched their personalities, all just for fun. One day, a friend suggested I take it seriously and turn it into a business. That encouragement led me to open an online boutique, where I sold clothing and started learning about vendors, visiting manufacturer showrooms, and gaining hands-on experience in the fashion space.
Through that journey, I realized how much I still wanted to learn—especially about retail and the in-person customer experience. So, I decided to step into the retail world. I found that working directly with customers in-store brought me the most joy. Seeing someone light up when they loved the outfit I styled for them—and knowing they trusted me with their look—was incredibly fulfilling.
Now, I’m focused on continuing to grow in this space, spreading that same sense of joy and confidence through personalized styling and a great shopping experience.
Demi, love having you share your insights with us. Before we ask you more questions, maybe you can take a moment to introduce yourself to our readers who might have missed our earlier conversations?
Hello, I’m Demi Mejia—a stylist, personal shopper, and fashion designer. I began my journey in styling and personal shopping in 2022, but fashion has always been a deep passion of mine. I have a strong eye for detail, specializing in color coordination, vacation styling packages, group styling, and more. What truly sets me apart is my commitment to studying fashion and design to create custom, one-of-one garments, as well as tailoring pieces from your favorite brands to ensure the perfect fit.
Time management is one of my strengths, and my clients and followers know they can count on me to deliver exactly what they need, when they need it. Whether it’s sourcing rare, hard-to-find pieces or curating vintage gems, I’m passionate about bringing out the best version of you through fashion.
What makes my approach unique is that I don’t just focus on clothes—I provide a full styling experience. From the outfit to the bag, jewelry, hair, and makeup recommendations, I ensure every detail is aligned to make you feel confident and look incredible. My clients trust me because I go beyond expectations. I don’t just style—I create a full look that tells your story.
I’m most proud of the trust I’ve built with my clients and the joy I see when they feel amazing in what I’ve styled. That’s what I want to keep doing—spreading that same feeling of confidence and excitement through every look I create.
What do you think is the goal or mission that drives your creative journey?
Yes, one of the biggest goals behind my creative journey is to raise awareness about the impact of fast fashion on both our planet and our bodies. Many people don’t realize how harmful certain fabrics—like nylon and synthetic blends—can be, not just to our skin but also to the environment once these garments end up in landfills.
Through my work and continued studies in fashion and design, I want to encourage people to make more conscious choices—opting for higher-quality, natural materials like cotton, and supporting more sustainable practices. I believe fashion should not only make you look good, but also feel good about what you’re wearing and where it came from. It’s about creating style with intention and responsibility.
How did you build your audience on social media?
My social media audience grew quickly and organically—it really took off once I started sharing affordable styling services and posting curated outfits that were on sale. For some reason, it felt like everyone suddenly needed a stylist, and I was there at the right moment with the right eye. My content started getting reposted, and people were visiting my page to check out the full looks I put together. That momentum created a moment I’ll never forget—it showed me the real power of consistency and value-driven content.
For anyone just starting out, my biggest advice is: stay authentic, post consistently, and offer real value. Whether that’s styling tips, budget-friendly finds, or full outfit inspiration, give people something they can connect with. Also, don’t underestimate the power of community—engage with your followers, collaborate, and let your personality shine through. That’s what really makes people stick around.
