Noel spent her teens and early 20s in the South, where she attended the Art Institute of Atlanta and American Intercontinental University, earning her degree in Fashion Marketing. She soon after started her work as a stylist for Women’s Wear Daily and went on to work in visual merchandising for various designers and upscale retailers.
In Noel’s spare time she enjoys her two mischievous rescue dogs, Scout and Sawyer; accumulating an unhealthy collection of shoes; and absolutely can’t get enough quality time with her niece and two small nephews!
