My Story

I started doing hair and makeup in my mom’s bathroom in high school, getting friends ready for proms, senior portraits, and family events. It was never just about the finished look—it was about how someone carried themselves when they felt like themselves. That idea has stayed with me.

My approach is grounded in the belief that makeup shouldn’t transform—it should reveal. I’m drawn to what already exists in a face: the structure, the texture, the small details that make someone recognizable as themselves. The goal is never to create a new person, but to bring forward a version that feels effortless, modern, and fully aligned.

Over time, that perspective has shaped my work across editorial, commercial, and on-camera projects. I’ve contributed to more than 600 productions, collaborating with brands like Nike, Apple, and Yves Saint Laurent Beauty, and working with talent including Serena Williams, Naomi Campbell, Sting, and Samara Joy. My work has been featured in American Vogue, The New York Times, British Vogue, Elle France, and W Magazine.

As the work has grown, so has the team behind it. I’ve built a group of artists who share the same attention to detail and respect for individuality. Whether it’s an intimate session or a large-scale production, we approach each project with care, intention, and a deep understanding of what it means to be seen on camera. We collaborate with people, brands, and teams to create experiences rooted in confidence, individuality, and ease.

I’m also committed to creating spaces where beauty feels accessible, expressive, and empowering. Through my nonprofit, In House of Futures, I work with youth through mentorship and hands-on workshops that build confidence and encourage self-expression. I also host workshops and experiences for brands and corporate teams—bringing a thoughtful, creative approach to beauty that encourages connection, confidence, and personal expression.
