About me

A Little about me 

Hi, I’m Ciara - the face behind MAI colour analysis. 

I’ve always been a creative person at heart. My journey began when I went to university studying fashion design, where i discovered my love for creating beautiful, bespoke clothing - especially dresses. My time there was unforgettable. I graduated with a First-Class Honours Degree and was incredibly proud to showcase my collection at London Graduate Fashion Week. 

After university, I moved into the world of couture, working with a London-based brand and helping them during London Fashion Week. It was during this time that I unexpectedly discovered the world of colour-over a simple cup of tea with colour analysis Anni Wickham (mycolourstylist). At the time, Anni was looking for someone to support her with branding and fresh ideas, and with my fashion background, we began working together closely.

Ironically, colour wasn’t something I felt confident in. My own collections had always been in shades of nude, black, and white—it felt safe. But the more time I spent around colour, and the more I saw its impact, the more curious I became. Over the years, I began to see colour differently—experimenting more in my wardrobe and learning how powerful it could be.

Eventually, I decided to take the leap and train formally, completing my Colour Analysis Diploma with the London College of Style. I wanted to fully understand the psychology, theory, and meaning behind colour—and it completely transformed the way I see style, people, and confidence.

MAI Colour Analysis is the result of my personal journey with creativity, fashion, and finding confidence through colour. After years of designing clothing and learning about style, I discovered something powerful—the colours we wear can completely transform how we feel. 

MAI isn’t just about choosing pretty shades. It’s about helping you discover the tones that naturally enhance your features, reflect your personality, and make getting dressed feel easy and exciting. Whether you’re stepping into a new season of life, refreshing your wardrobe, or simply curious, my goal is to help you feel your most confident, authentic self.
