Abigail Cole Hardin

Abigail Cole Hardin is the founder and CEO of Inside Out Image Consulting. Growing up with a noticeable birthmark on her cheek, Abigail realized at a young age, image matters. She turned to fashion to find confidence from the “outside in,” but she found lasting confidence when she owned who she was from the “inside out.”

“I was a fashion design major, and now I design for the whole person.

After graduating and working in the fashion industry, Abigail realized designing for the body is only one dimension of a person. She believes we are much more.

“I am all about achieving image integrity, which is what you see is what you get.”

Abigail helps people feel confident by leading with authenticity and image integrity. Her patented M.A.P. Process uses a systematic approach to refining a person’s Mindset, Appearance and Presence to cohesively represent who they are from the inside out.

Abigail worked in NYC for over four years. She gained experience in multiple facets of the fashion industry including design, merchandising, styling, wholesale, and retail sales at companies such as Vera Wang and Eileen Fisher.

She wanted to help individuals find the “outside in” confidence from fashion, so she became certified in image consulting. Her training as an Image Consultant stems from the Image Resource Center, an affiliate of AICI in New York City.

Unlike a stylist, Abigail understands the science behind what looks good on someone and can explain why it does through her training. This invaluable knowledge is coupled with Abigail’s expertise as a clinically trained Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP) Practitioner and Certified Life Coach, where she brings internal insight on what each client needs to overcome the unseen barriers that are holding them back both personally and professionally.
