About me
I’m a Denver-based makeup artist and creative production professional working across beauty, editorial, fashion, model development, and performance.
My approach to makeup is rooted in skin, structure, and storytelling. I’m especially drawn to creating polished, dimensional complexions and expressive beauty looks that feel intentional to the person, garment, camera, and environment they are created for.
Alongside my freelance makeup work, I serve in production leadership with HAUS, where I collaborate across fashion, fittings, runway, campaign production, beauty direction, and live events. That experience has made me comfortable working within larger creative teams, adapting quickly on set, communicating across departments, and balancing artistic intention with the practical needs of production.
My background in performance also informs how I understand faces, character, presence, and visual storytelling. Whether I’m working with an individual client, model, performer, or creative team, I care about thoughtful collaboration, strong technique, and creating work that feels both considered and alive.

Why I'm here
I’m here to connect with opportunities in makeup artistry, beauty, fashion, editorial, and creative production.
My work spans beauty and editorial makeup, model tests, runway and fashion production, performance, and client-focused artistry. I’m particularly interested in freelance artistry, brand and retail artistry, editorial and campaign work, runway, and collaborative creative projects where strong technique, thoughtful service, and visual storytelling are valued.
I’m also interested in building relationships with artists, brands, photographers, designers, and production teams while continuing to expand the range and quality of my work.
