When I first started making up women, I instantly felt the power of it--how it makes one feel and gives one confidence. While I was working make-up artist prior, my training at KRYOLAN Academy has vastly advanced my knowledge in make-up artistry both in creative aspects of beauty and fashion as well as in my understanding of technical aspects of make-up from colors to details. Additionally, having the opportunity to travel the world as a free-lance makeup artist, has given me the opportunity to explore and broaden my creativity and enhance my understanding of the influence and diversity of different cultures. In addition to my work in fashion, I have extensive bridal makeup experience providing hair styles and makeup for brides in the United States and throughout Europe and Asia. This experience has given me a broad knowledge of what is culturally acceptable and relevant makeup styles and practices.
