Now based in the Boston area after 18 yrs in Los Angeles, 3 Emmy nominations, multiple VIP clients (and NDA's); so much about who I am & what I offer is wrapped up in the influence of the entertainment industry, sunshine culture, & the range of looks born out of both.
My time spent working with celebrities, high profile VIPs, top tier brands & fashion magazines has helped me develop not only a tasteful eye, but also a unique ability to provide a nurturing, cooperative, profoundly attentive service that's all about making the person sitting in my chair feel like a star.
When I think of West Coast aesthetic & LA vibes, I think glamour (both soft and full), timelessness, Celebrity, Red Carpet magic, glowing skin (that looks like skin), Bronze Goddess, natural beauty, highlights, sheen, health & wealth, chic sophistication with an edge, effortlessness (that actually takes time to achieve), fashion forward, trend setting style, laid back beauty...

After living in both Boston & NYC, I made the move to sunny Los Angeles to pursue Makeup Artistry & learn from the top Celebrity artists of the time.
Countless flights, makeup designs, dance routines, laughs & 3 Emmy Nominations later; leading the makeup dept on So You Think You Can Dance & acting as Personal Artist to host Cat Deeley was a huge factor in developing my resilience under pressure.
The Beauty Manifesto was my beloved personal project where I got to experiment with new products, spend 1:1 time with gorge models trying fun looks & musing about my discoveries.
...and his sweet 8 yr old daughter.
If you meet me, you'll hear this story; it's a good one.
I spent the majority of my career in Los Angeles working with Celebrity clients for their important events - this includes Red Carpet moments, Award Shows, press days, travel jobs, & photoshoots. The other 20% of my work was collaborating with contemporary brands like Reformation, AG Jeans, & Nike; additionally shooting for well known fashion magazines & beauty brands. My aesthetic reflects my past experience; & is inspired still by West Coast, NYC and European editorial sensibilities.
I always do my best to help my clients feel amazing; inside & out. I pay attention to their mood, vibes, & personal needs & do whatever I can to respond to them in kind, usually a step ahead. I check in throughout our session to make sure you're feeling comfortable & gorge, & if we have an extended time together I’ll make sure you’re hydrated, nurtured, covered with good vibes & superior shine control! I want everyone who sits in my chair to be glad they did.
Bringing good vibes to a room is key. My extensive experience with Celebrity/VIP clients has helped me develop a calm, cool, reliably grounded energy no matter the circumstance. Years of working with top level talent teams, as well as running my own artistry team for a live TV show (while simultaneously tending to the host), helped prepare me for smooth sailing in high intensity environments & the ability to peacefully manage any type of personality or demand with grace and ease.
