White Sheet

I started doing makeup for prom clients out of my bedroom in 2018. Before long, it had grown into something much bigger.

Since then, I've worked on photo and video shoots, music projects, weddings, fashion shows, short films, and other creative productions. What I love most about makeup is its ability to tell a story, shift a mood, or help someone see themselves differently.

While makeup artistry is at the center of what I do, I'm also drawn to the bigger picture. I love creative direction, branding, graphic design, photography, and finding ways those worlds can overlap.

Originally from Murfreesboro, Tennessee, I'm now based in Berkeley, California. I graduated from the Savannah College of Art and Design in 2025 with a B.F.A. in Business of Beauty & Fragrance and a minor in Fashion Marketing & Management. During my time at SCAD, I founded and served as President of the Makeup Artistry Club, where I connected students with artists and educators across the beauty industry.

Some of the most meaningful parts of my education have come from learning directly from artists I admire. I've trained with Hailee Clark, organized an educational workshop featuring Eugenia Weston, and I've also had the opportunity to learn from and observe artists, including Rose-Marie Swift, Andrew Sotomayor, Donni Davy, and Daniel Martin.

I'm currently completing my esthetics education at JD Academy of Salon & Spa and expanding my services into skincare, brows, and lashes.

Whether I'm working on a set, behind the scenes of a creative project, or with someone in my chair, my goal is always the same: to help people feel comfortable, confident, and like themselves.
