About me

I'm a lead campaign and editorial hair stylist with a passion for creating camera-ready looks across every hair type and texture. With years of experience behind the chair, on set, and in the classroom, I've worked with major brands like Nike, Adidas, Jordan Brand, and Vogue on productions spanning six continents. I'm a licensed cosmetologist and barber stylist who thrives in fast-paced creative environments, collaborating with photographers, creative directors, and producers to bring briefs to life. Beyond styling, I'm dedicated to mentoring assistants and educating other professionals. Recently, I founded SEP Hair Diagnostic, a hair and scalp tracking app designed to support women through pregnancy and postpartum changes—a project born directly from conversations with my salon clients.

Why I'm here

I'm here to showcase my work and connect with brands, creative teams, and fellow professionals who value precision, creativity, and inclusivity in beauty. My journey from salon to set to classroom has taught me that great hair styling is about understanding people, solving problems, and delivering consistency under pressure. I'm passionate about continuing to lead high-impact campaigns while building SEP Hair Diagnostic into a resource that transforms how women care for their hair during major life transitions. I'm seeking opportunities to collaborate on innovative projects, mentor the next generation of stylists, and push the boundaries of what's possible in campaign and editorial hair.
