Although there were times in whe early days when I questioned ‘how much is there really to learn about makeup?’, now that I have worked in the industry for some time, I recognise how much my 5 years of training have taught me.

I have been lucky enough to have been taught by some extremely talented and well respected industry experts and professionals, and I learnt so much from their experience and advice. They have truly helped to shape me into the artist I am today, and for that I will be forever grateful.

An advantage of this is that I have had time to make mistakes, to learn, and to grow. The road was not always smooth, but thanks to these experiences, I am now confident, self assured, unafraid, and willing to take on whatever the next challenge is.

Achieving a First Class Degree in Media Makeup really cemented this for me, and I can't wait to see where the next few years takes me.

Raised as a strong queer ally, and a late diagnosed neurodivergent, I really understand what it is like to feel like you don't quite fit in anywhere.

I strive to create a welcoming and inclusive environment for all clients, and for everyone to leave their time with me feeling like their most authentic selves. Identifying the individual needs and preferences of each client, alongside a thorough consultation process, results in a unique, tailored and personalised experience.

Ensuring that I really get to know my clients through consultation means that any accessibility needs are discussed prior to appointments taking place, and these can be kept on record to ensure a streamlined approach for any future bookings.

I also cater for queer weddings and partnerships, and take great pride in being able to work alongside my community.

When I began training to be a makeup artist at 16, I was a full blown emo.

The alternative scene and approach is about accepting without question, embracing individual style and preference, as well as being non-judgemental, and having fun with your appearance.

My makeup knowledge and ability stretches way beyond traditional glam, due to growing up in and around the 'alternative' scene. This has also played a part in my quest to be as inclusive as possible within my work, ensuring that I can cater to those who may prefer a less conventional look for their special occasion.

Everybody deserves to have the option to feel empowered, authentic, and beautiful, and to have their style embraced by their makeup artist.
