I am only taking paid jobs at this time. I am willing to travel but expenses would have to be paid. I do a lot of work between LA and SF.
Beauty and aesthetics of all kinds are my passions. I love playing dress up for a living and transforming people into beautiful masterpieces.
My primary focus has been in print work & runway, for the fashion industry. I feel that beauty, glam, rock n roll and high fashion are my strengths with a splash of the Avante Garde and Fetish. I want push myself to work outside the box.
I have a strong skill set which includes make up for beauty, commercial, editorial, fashion, weddings, head shots, some f/x, television, film, runway, music videos, and theater.
I can do hair and if otherwise listed in my port I did it but, I prefer not to do both on a job. I am a perfectionist and well Hair is not my strongest trait.
I also do facials, lash extensions, waxing, and men's grooming.
