Lilian Salomon is a digital strategist at Iconic Digital, style coach, and founder of A Lil Bit of Biz—a studio she launched to help people align their style and personal brand with where they’re going next. She is also a Doctor of Business Administration student researching the impact of AI on the workforce. Everything she does ties back to helping others show up more confidently and intentionally—without the pressure to perform or fit into anyone else’s box.
My Maven Superpower is…Bridging strategy and creativity to turn big ideas into clear, high-impact results—whether it’s a brand campaign, a client pitch, or a personal style transformation.
Best book I’ve read lately is…My Year of Rest and Relaxation—it was strange, haunting, and somehow exactly what I needed.
Self-care habit I swear by…Turning off my phone, lighting a candle, and doing a closet cleanout when I feel stuck. Style is therapy for me.
My first job was…A web and marketing coordinator at a marketing company in Carmel—where I realized I loved both storytelling and strategy.
The best career advice I can offer is…Confidence isn’t something you wake up with—it’s something you build by showing up again and again.
A purchase I’ve been loving lately is…New adidas sambas, I love them!
I feel most confident when…I’m speaking from a place of clarity—in a good outfit, of course.
My favorite local restaurant dish is…Any kind of hot honey chicken or pizza.
The thing I’ve been binging lately is…Greys Anatomy on repeat.
A fun fact about me is…I’m originally from Arizona.
The skill I most want to learn is…Being able to talk to anyone.
A Maven you should know is…My sister and partner, Angelita Salomon.
My favorite nonprofit to support is…Planned Parenthood.
What have you achieved recently that you’d like to celebrate with our community?…I officially launched A Lil Bit of Biz, after years of holding the idea close.
What’s next for you? What can we expect to see over the next few years?…I’m focused on growing A Lil Bit of Biz into a full-time brand that blends style, strategy, and confidence in a way that actually supports real people through real transitions. Over the next few years, I’ll be expanding my service offerings—building out group workshops, the Closet Therapy Club, and eventually a storefront studio space that combines styling, community, and career clarity under one roof. I’m also finishing my doctorate in business.
I feel most myself when…When I’m driving with the windows down, music just loud enough to drown out my thoughts, wearing an outfit that feels like me—even if it’s just a matching sweat set and sunglasses. I feel most like myself when I’m in motion, slightly chaotic, but creatively grounded and fully in my own energy.
My “must-have” product is…A good pair of white sneakers. They go with everything, make any outfit feel a little cooler, and carry me through every season of life—literally and figuratively.
