What makes me different

I’m extremely organized

I’m on top of my sh**. You can expect timely communication (emails, texts), day-of schedules, and all the prep. I have a project-manager mind.

I’m *Gen Z*

I know makeup, trends, and what’s in. More Patrick Ta, Makeup by Mario, HAUS LABS BY LADY GAGA, and less Clinique. Plus, I feel like I’m super fun to be around!

I read people well & am very attuned to others

Maybe you need quiet on your wedding day, or someone to calm the anxiety! Or on set, you need an artist to read the room and anticipate needs. I’m your girl.

I take feedback well

Need a different color lip? Want me to adjust a look? I’m Minnesota Nice but have coastal grit. I’m here to listen well and adjust to make the day go smoothly.
