Where clients begin
Greater responsibility changes what you need from your wardrobe and your professional brand. Most clients aren't starting over. They're catching their image up to where they already are.
A promotion, a board seat or a public platform raises what people expect to see.
The wardrobe that worked five years ago no longer matches your position or life.
How you look in person, on LinkedIn and on stage tells three different stories.
Your expertise is clear to you, less so to the people deciding about you.
Two advisory practices

Leaders We've Worked With











The McKnight approach
What you wear is read in context: by your industry, your audience and the room. The work starts there, not with a trend.
Understand you, your role, ambitions, lifestyle, current image and how you're perceived today.
Develop a focused image or personal brand strategy with clear priorities.
Translate the strategy into wardrobe decisions, communications, presence and brand assets.
In their words
In the short time I've been working with David, I've already seen and felt a change in my image. The compliments I get on my clothing and other facets of my appearance are inspiring. He's direct, yet gentle and supportive, meeting me where I'm at, challenging me appropriately without pushing me uncomfortably.

Whether you are refining your executive image, developing your personal brand, or preparing for a more visible role, the first step is a private conversation about your priorities.
It's an introductory call: we discuss what you need, the likely scope, and whether working together makes sense.
