I was only three years old, my grandfather found me sweeping hair in his barber shop in Duluth.  After a few years of assisting him, learning the classical techniques, I found my own passion for hair. 

 
After high school I decide to pursue my passion by attending Aveda Institute Minneapolis to study cosmetology.  While at Aveda, I studied how to create and perfect a modern, edgy, artistic, yet trendy way of styling hair and makeup. 

 
When I returned to Duluth, I landed a job working at Utopia Salon and Spa.  I spent a year there making every client look and feel their best!  After a year, I decided to head back to Minneapolis/St. Paul ready to advance my exciting career in hair and makeup.


Over the years as a professional hair and makeup artist, I have stylized thousands of clients, done work for some major projects, and have gained the respect from several professional photographers.
