I am here for Friends and Networking

About Me

I am a Chicago-based Makeup Artist & Hair Stylist working in the Chicago and Miami markets. I am always seeking opportunities to network and work with professional photographers, designers and publications. I can easily make myself available for jobs in Miami, New York, LA and Internationally, as requested. My focus is in editorial, fashion, commercial and clean, yet glammed up beauty.

Thanks to the phenomenal photographers that shot the images above, including DAVID ANTHONY, KEVIN SINCLAIR, ALEJANDRO RIVERA, FRED BROWN, DANIEL FAIRS and MIKE DIXON. All images on this site belong to the photographers who shot them!
