“ I love being part of the hype team that enhances beauty, confidence and love on a wedding day. ”
—
I've always had an artsy side - even if I didn’t interpret it into makeup until my early twenties. Growing up I loved designing dresses, drawing lady faces and developing techniques in patterns, gradients and line work. At that moment, I thought this was doodling; not knowing that it would all translate to a career in makeup a decade later. Educated as an esthetician, I was introduced to skincare and the basics of catering makeup applications to bridal events. This ignited the spark. After graduating my esthetics program in 2014, I immediately jumped into the realm of artistry.
Working as an artist at Sephora and MAC, I familiarized myself with advanced makeup techniques, sanitation practices and professional brands that guided me into my next chapter: Bridal Makeup Artist, A love story. I broadened my career from spa and beauty to include health by continuing my studies as a registered massage therapist. This allowed me to work in renowned establishments such as Ste. Annes Spa and Nordik, before transitioning to rehabilitative therapy.
Fast forward, I now have 10 years of professional makeup, esthetics and health care experience. While I enjoy all facets of my trades, I have fallen head-over-heels in love with the creativity and connection of bridal makeup.
