Keyholder, Stylist @Free People

Colorado Springs, CO, US

As a Stylist and Keyholder at Free People, I have the opportunity to combine creativity, customer service, and leadership in a fast-paced retail environment. I love connecting with customers to curate personalized styling experiences that made them feel confident and inspired. Beyond the sales floor, I supported daily store operations; opening and closing the store, managing cash procedures, and helping execute visual merchandising updates that reflected the brand’s unique aesthetic. I also enjoy collaborating with my team to maintain a positive, welcoming atmosphere and mentoring new associates on styling, brand voice, and customer engagement. The role strengthened my ability to think creatively, communicate clearly, and build meaningful relationships; skills that continue to shape my professional approach today.
