A Life Styled

/ "shar-koo-tuh-ree” / Charcuterie has certainly evolved over the years. Originated in the 15th century as a means to preserve meats, today charcuterie showcases more like an art form-each piece intentionally selected and carefully displayed to create a masterpiece that appeals to the eyes as much as the palate. While I enjoy traditional boards heaped with savory meats, speciality cheeses and seasonal accoutrements, customizing spreads for special events or seasonal soirées is my passion. I truly enjoy the artistry behind a unique theme and presentation that both surprises and delights my clients.

We offer a wide range of charcuterie options, from individual boxes to large scale table spreads. DM or message through the website linked in our bio for a creative consultation.

/ About Me / My name is Shelly. I’m the founder and chief designer for A Life Styled, which is a 30-A based aesthetics and event design company.

Art and a consideration of lifestyle aesthetics was impressed upon me at a young age and has since shaped the way I live. Growing up, I found myself drawn to fine art and photography, loving the imaginative qualities and subjective emotional experience of artistic creation. However, disenchanted by the computer-based, mass production of art that I discovered in college, psychology took center stage in my collegiate career, propelling me to a doctoral degree and later a private practice. Several years after starting a family, homeschooling my children presented as an opportunity too precious to pass up. It was then that I closed the door on my therapy practice and unknowingly opened the door to a lifestyle brand. My love for art and homemaking - by way of decorating, entertaining and event planning - flourished over the years and beyond the bounds of our family as I found myself serving as a creative consultant and event designer for local businesses. Today, my passion and business centers around helping clients cultivate distinct personal styles that translate into strikingly unique and meaningful event experiences.

Follow along as I take you through the creative process. Here you can expect to find lifestyle content and inspiration, from entertaining, to home styling and hints of everyday fashion. Welcome, so happy to have you here!
