It all began with indecision.
All my life, I’ve been that person whose multiple interests have pulled me in 10 directions at once, and my career is no different. I’ve always been in love with the arts, education, and helping people, but I had a difficult time deciding what direction to go with my profession. It wasn’t until I witnessed one of my biggest artist idols in action at a salon that I realized makeup and beauty could allow me to pursue all of those interests and more.
I have worked in the beauty industry for over a decade with brands such as Urban Decay, Benefit, BareMinerals, MAC, and Anastasia Beverly Hills. Current clients include Wantable, ShopBop, and Lands end, ESPN, Good Morning America. I possess a deep love for glamour inspired by the golden age of Hollywood but also find inspiration in the obscure, such as drag, theatrical, and FX makeup. The beauty industry has taught me many lessons throughout the years, not the least of which are: be fearless, be kind, and be on time. And remember, there’s no one way to enhance and embrace your beauty.
