About me
I have been in the beauty/fashion industry for 20 years now! I started out as a stylist, working as a full time educator for Framesi, Goldwell, and was regional artistic director for ARTec. These positions granted me access to work hundreds of fashion/runway shows from coast to coast, including Betsey Johnson & Ralph Lauren shows. 

I evolved into make-up artistry as a natural extension of model preparation.  I have received advanced training in hi-def & photographic make up techniques and my work has been featured on local news programming, and The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame .  I love working with designers also, including Zombie Apparel, Capistran Swimwear, & Johnathan Kayne. 

My philosophy & style are rather ego-less ~ only the finished result is what matters to me.  I am very communicative with anyone working on a shoot with me, and feel it's extremely important to incorporate the total vision as seen through the eyes of the photographer, stylist, wardrobe stylist, & model in order to capture the desired outcome. 

I am also the CEO of Spell Cosmetics, a product line I developed to support make up artistry through the way I see & experience colour.  It's one thing to love the way a colour looks in person, but an entirely other thing to see the way it translates on film! My vision with Spell Cosmetics has been to develop a full range of products that are sensitive to hi-def & photographic imagary, without the use of controversial ingredients. 

Spell Cosmetics has been featured in Gothic Vogue and on the set of Slay Angels.

I am seeking to work with a variety of photographers and models on new projects.  I love being immersed in this culture, and am very negotiable on fees or trade.
