Alayna is a native of the great Northwest. Like many of you, she went through a stage of feeling awkward and unsure of herself. Sticking out like a sore thumb, being one of the tallest girls in school and stick thin was “not cool” in her mind. In her later teens, she finally felt comfortable in her own skin, and with some work, she decided to pursue a career in modeling.

While attending the University of Washington, Alayna had the opportunity to work as a runway model, a makeup artist, and also interned at a local modeling agency. There, she was able to learn what it takes to work behind the scenes and what clients want from models. This is when she fell in love with the fashion industry!

In 1989 she opened up her own modeling agency where she helped fulfill the dreams of aspiring models. Her ultimate goals were to:

• Develop young talent to become professional working models;
• Improve the self image and confidence of all her students by giving them the skills and opportunity to experience the modeling world; whether or not they would become professional models.

During this time, Alayna became a leading fashion show producer, producing fun, high energy fashion shows. You may have seen her in your area as Seventeen Magazine's Stylist or on one of your local talk shows as a stylist expert!
