About me
I graduated with first class honours in BA Hons Make-up and Hair Design and a distinction in MA Creative Direction for Fashion and Beauty. As a make-up artist, I challenge the norms of beauty. I seek unconventional methods and styles, I work with textures and shapes - I can be a minimalist or wildly extravagant. I practise the art of storytelling through a combination of art direction, styling and makeup artistry. My own work is inspired by art cinema, taking on a filmic aesthetic and I strive to create work that is both beautiful and bizarre.
