About Me

My journey in the makeup industry has taken me to some of the most exciting locations around the world. These experiences have honed my skills, making me adept at understanding and meeting the unique demands of each project

I thrive in high-stress, time-pressured environments where creativity knows no bounds. My commitment to excellence is unwavering, and I'm dedicated to delivering outstanding results that elevate every productions I'm a part of.

My portfolio spans a diverse range of work, from film and television to theatre and commercial shoots. I specialise in a variety of makeup techniques, from beauty makeup to basic special effects, all while maintaining a keen eye for detail.

As a makeup artist, I believe that makeup has the power to not only enhance physical features but also boost confidence and tell a story. I'm dedicated to bringing out the best in every individual I work with.
