About me

Hi! I'm Lou, and I'm a queer London-based creative. I am an experienced HMUA, trained at Delamar Academy in London. My jobs range from BBC and Sky TV series to indie short films, London Fashion Week presentations and private celebrity clients. I am also an Actor and have performed at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival on multiple occasions. I speak French and Spanish fluently and have lived and worked in Paris and Madrid, where I gained experience in PR for Fashion & Lifestyle brands.
