The Art of Becoming Workshop, Sept

Join Skye Paez (she/her) for an interactive session designed for transgender, gender diverse, and non-binary adults seeking to explore identity, self-expression, and the person they’re becoming.

This isn’t about conforming to fashion rules or fitting into someone else’s idea of beauty — it’s about discovering what feels authentically you. Through guided journalling, visual exercises, and gentle conversation, participants will uncover their own personal ‘North Star’ — the values, colors, textures, and inspirations that resonate with their identity.

Skye brings over 15 years of experience in luxury beauty and personal styling — not to tell you how to look, but to help you find tools that amplify confidence and authenticity. Whether you’re just starting to experiment with your presentation or you’re deep into your journey, this workshop offers supportive space to play, reflect, and grow.

Bring along any makeup you already own, wear something that makes you feel most like yourself, and come ready to explore. Time permitting, there’ll be a Q&A and optional styling tips for refining your look.

No previous experience with fashion or beauty required — just curiosity and a willingness to discover.
