About Me
Meet the Woman Behind Hause of Nu
Born and raised on the West Side of Chicago, I’ve always had a deep love for fashion, beauty, and everything that makes a woman feel confident and beautiful. Today, my family and I call the suburbs home, but the strength, ambition, and style that Chicago gave me will always be a part of who I am.
For the past 12 years, I’ve been an entrepreneur, building, creating, and turning my passions into purpose. Through every chapter of my journey, my faith has remained at the center of my life. God has blessed me tremendously, and I truly believe that without Him, none of what I’ve accomplished would be possible. He has also placed some incredible people in my life who have supported, encouraged, and believed in me along the way.
Closest to my heart are my daughter, Khloe, who is my everything, and my spouse, my number one supporter. They are the ones who have supported me through it all and always kept me going.
My love for beauty eventually inspired me to step into the world of fragrance and create Hause of Nu Parfums—a luxury fragrance brand that is especially close to my heart.
Hause of Nu is lovingly dedicated to my mother, Cynthia, who is resting in peace. Her memory is forever a part of me, and creating this brand allows me to honor her while building something beautiful that carries meaning, elegance, and legacy.
I believe fragrance is more than something you wear—it’s an introduction before you ever say a word. I love a woman who can walk into a room and have her presence felt, but I love it even more when her fragrance announces that luxury is on the way before she even enters.
Hause of Nu was created for that woman.
The woman who is feminine, confident, unforgettable, and unapologetically luxurious.
Welcome to Hause of Nu—where fragrance meets femininity, faith, legacy, and luxury.
