About me
I’ve always been fascinated by transformation. I had no idea that hours of playing dress-up, giving my Barbies haircuts, and painting my brother’s face with stolen lipstick would someday turn into a career, but here I am. I consider myself a visual storyteller. I tell most of my stories through characters. When you style a model’s hair and makeup, her energy changes - she stands in a whole new way, as if her spirit was inspired by something new. When you transform an actor, he becomes the character he is portraying, bringing the whole narrative to life. It is this process that gets me excited.While earning my degree at New York University, I had the opportunity to study Art History and Film in Paris, Costume Design in Prague, and Fashion Illustration at both Parsons the New School for Design and the School of the Art Institute of Chicago. Just in case that wasn’t enough school, I moved back to my hometown of Chicago to get my Cosmetology license at Pivot Point Academy where I specialized in men's grooming and ethnic hair. I was trained in makeup artistry by top-selling brands MAC Cosmetics and Bare Minerals and received expert training in special effects makeup at NYU
I currently work as a hair and makeup artist in film, television and theater in Chicago. I also have the pleasure of influencing the next generation of filmmakers as a professor of Cinema Makeup at Columbia College Chicago.
