I'm a licensed hair stylist and certified makeup artist, currently residing in Charlotte, NC.

While I am fully skilled in hair, makeup is my true passion in life, with horror and special makeup effects at the top of the list. I'm experienced in beauty, airbrush, horror, fantasy and commercial makeup, and looking to work with other talented individuals in the industry to collaborate with and expand my work.

From glam to absolute gore, I can do it all.
