This is the time of your life but you just can't tell.

About Me


You might say this is me in a nutshell!
I wear many hats, and live in the near future. I surround myself with genuine yet scandalous people, who inspire me and live fast. I strive to reinvent myself all the time and enjoy burning the candle at both ends.
I'm on an ear-piercing kick and still figuring out where to get a pumpkin tattooed on me. I collect Pez despensers and Garbage Pail Kids trading cards. I'm half Swiss, a quarter Swedish, part Lebanese, 100% Jersey.
I have a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree from the Maryland Institute College of Art. I love to dabble in costume design, digital photography, and video editing. I studied theatrical make-up at the London College of Fashion (most awesome experience). I am a make-up artist for MAC Cosmetics, and involved in various make-up freelance gigs such as Ed Ajaj photography, Ed Remington Photography, Paper Magic Group, Fashion Fever, Moonbox 23 Productions, and Electric Vertigo Films, to name a few.
