About Helena
Helena Grant began brand styling for commercial and personal clients at the onset of her 2009 foray into fashion entrepreneurship. To the delight of her following, she officially launched H.GrantStyle in 2015, when her daughter was just 7 months old, with the mission of making it fun and easy for women everywhere to feel beautiful and confident every day.
Helena works with clients both one-on-one in-person and virtually to help build empowering wardrobes. She is on a quest to “democratize style” and so her offerings extend to online programs which condense her proven methodologies into self-study modules. Helena divides her time between the Connecticut countryside, the replenishing Adirondack Mountains and the concrete jungle of Boston where she can often be seen, with any number of garments fluttering around her, peddling a pink bike named BUBBLES.
