Who I am

Hey, I’m Deanna 👋
A born-and-raised Pennsylvania girl who packed up her life in 2017 and moved to New York City with nothing but a dream, a suitcase, and the kind of delusional confidence you need to survive here.

I came to NYC to finish my bachelor’s degree in Fashion Merchandising at FIT — but deep down, I always knew I didn’t just want to work behind the scenes. I wanted to be on the talent side. Modeling was my dream long before I ever admitted it out loud. And like most dreams, it scared me.

I’ve lived in this city since 2017, navigating the fashion world, the hustle, the chaos, and every self-doubt spiral imaginable. I’ve walked the runway, taken the digitals no one taught me how to take, pitched myself to agencies with shaky confidence, and built a brand from scratch in a city that forces you to grow up fast.

Why I’m here:
Because I’ve been in that messy, confusing “How do I even start?” stage. The fitness extremes, the comparison traps, the uncertainty about my path, the late-night tears after dead-end submissions… all of it. I got signed. I learned. I fell on my face. I rebuilt. And I turned every piece of that journey into something I can now give back.

What I do now:

  • I help you build real foundations — mindset, routines, health — so you can show up fully and confidently.

  • I teach you how to style yourself, create digitals, build a portfolio, and show up online like the talent you are.

  • I guide you through the business side: agency submissions, red flags, networking, and actually growing your career.

  • I partner with brands, creators, and models who want vision + intention — not just a pretty aesthetic.

Here’s the truth:
You’re not too late. You’re not behind. You’re just at the beginning of your glow-up story — the same way I was when I stepped off the bus from Pennsylvania in 2017 with big dreams and no roadmap.

If you’re ready for clarity, confidence, and a plan that actually moves you forward, I’ve got you.
Let’s build the version of you you’ve always pictured.
