“Image Impact: Your Professional Presence” Kali Evans-Raoul Founder and President The Image Studios

Kali Evans-Raoul, founder and president of The Image Studios, launched her successful Chicago-based image communication firm in 2000 out of a commitment to helping others understand, define and present their own message.  She holds a Chemical Engineering degree from Carnegie Mellon University, and has worked in research & development, marketing and consumer education for a range of companies, including L’Oreal, Kraft Foods, and the boutique hair care and beauty company Dudley Products. She has spent over 25 years in the personal care product and service industry, and has experience in both creating and running a business.  The impetus for creating The Image Studios came from Ms. Evans-Raoul’s experiences in corporate America, where she watched talented and competent individuals miss out on promotions and advancement opportunities primarily because they weren’t recognized as “high potential” individuals. With The Image Studios she has created the business model that provides the tools and process to help individuals move out of the shadows and be seen and heard. The Image Studios has been featured on ABC’s Starting Over, and has been covered in CNN.com, The Chicago Sun-Times, The Chicago Tribune, Well Magazine and Crain’s.  Corporate clients include ExxonMobil, Citibank, KPMG, The Gap, Kraft Foods and PepsiCo.  Ms. Evans-Raoul is an active member of the Association of Image Consultants International (AICI), National Association of Women Business Owners (NAWBO), the National Cosmetology Association (NCA), and volunteers monthly with Look Good Feel Better (LGFB).   She lives in Chicago with her husband, Illinois State Senator Kwame Raoul, and their two children, Ché & Mizan.
