Meet Qui Daugherty
Nashville, Tennessee
Where impeccable style meets intentional living.
Before founding The Upper Echelon, Qui built her career at the intersection of fashion and real estate. Years spent working with luxury boutiques, stylists, and creatives honed her eye for silhouettes, fabrics, and the subtle details that make a look feel elevated yet effortless.
In real estate, she quickly became known for her calm presence, sharp negotiation skills, and the way she cared for every step of the process—from first conversation to keys in hand. Clients trusted her not just for outcomes, but for how seen and supported they felt along the way.
Today, Qui weaves those two worlds together—curating closets and homes that reflect who you are becoming. Her work is about far more than outfits and addresses; it is about helping you step into rooms, relationships, and seasons of life with quiet confidence.
Values & Approach
Luxury that feels deeply personal,
never performative.
Every engagement with The Upper Echelon is intentionally intimate. Qui partners with a limited number of clients so she can offer the level of presence, discretion, and thoughtfulness you would expect from a trusted friend—supported by a refined, detail-driven process.
Thoughtful discovery
Qui begins with careful listening—your story, your routines, the way you want to feel when you walk into a room or through your front door. From there, she designs a path that honors your lifestyle and long-term vision.
White-glove execution
From pulling looks to previewing properties, Qui manages the details so you can experience the joy of the process without the overwhelm. Communication is clear, timelines are respected, and each step feels considered.
Discreet, trusted guidance
Whether editing your closet or negotiating your next home, Qui leads with integrity and discretion. Her goal is simple: for you to feel both fully taken care of and fully yourself in every space you inhabit.
