About Me

How I became a Hair Designer, Makeup Artist and Special Effects Artist:

Makeup is one of the most powerful forms of self-expression and I truly believe beauty should be as unique and limitless as the person wearing it. Whether it’s enhancing natural features, crafting full-glam transformations, or bringing imaginative characters/creatures to life. I tailor every look to reflect my client’s personality, vision, skin type, and individual style. My goal is always the same: to empower people and reveal their inner beauty on the outside.

My passion for beauty and special effects makeup began in childhood, sparked by The Munsters. That show ignited a love for both the glamorous and the grotesque and the creative freedom that lives between the two. Since then, my career as a makeup artist has taken me on an exciting journey, allowing me to grow both personally and professionally while exploring new places and faces.

Before diving fully into the beauty industry, I spent eight years managing restaurants—leading high-performing teams with ambition and heart. In 2011, I took a leap of faith to follow my dreams and haven’t looked back since. I began by working with local high schools for proms, formals, and impactful programs like “Every 15 Minutes.” My work has also graced the runway with brands including JCPenney, LA Fashion Week, Oscar De la Renta, Not in My Home, Flourishe, Beauty at the Bay. 

I’m a firm believer in continuous education. To complement my love for makeup and hair, I became a licensed cosmetologist and later studied to get my esthetician license through a Dermalogica partner school.  Understanding that flawless makeup begins with healthy, glowing skin. I’ve also trained under renowned beauty expert Donna Mee, gaining advanced techniques that elevate my artistry. Today, I exclusively use high-grade, HD-compatible, professional-quality makeup and tools to ensure stunning results in any setting.

Known for my laid-back yet professional approach, I’ve built lasting relationships with clients and collaborators alike, and I bring a refined, adaptable skill set to every project I take on.

Based in Lake Elsinore, CA, I’m available by appointment and offer makeup services for bridal, red carpet, special effects, editorial, film, speaking engagements, headshots, and more. I’m also available for both domestic and international travel.
