Experience

I've been working as an HMUA (Hair and Makeup Artist) since 2023 in Vancouver, BC. In the past, I worked for more than 10 years as an Art Director but I changed my career to pursue my strong passion for makeup. My past career gave me a vast number of qualities: I am not only creative, I know good combinations of colours and styles, I understand the perspective of photographers and how they take their photos and edit them. You won’t find a makeup artist with the same background I have, my vision and knowledge about visual concepts are much deeper and on a professional level.

  • My style on bridal and beauty: Soft Glam (medium and high coverage) and Natural makeup are some of my favourite styles, I have been creating techniques to bring your beauty to another level without many heavy layers and still, it will look incredible in your photos! It is very comfortable to wear and it is long-wearing. For brides, I have a special kit with many Luxury products to give you the best experience possible. As an HMUA, I style bridal hair as well, expect to find classic, elegant and romantic options.

Do you wish a makeup to bring your unique personality to your bridal makeup? You came to the right person! I understand how to transform your authentic personality and transform it into elegant makeup. If you want a touch of colour or creativity, I am the right HMUA for you.

For those who love trends and celebrity makeup, I am obsessed with learning them all the time. One of my goals is to bring innovations every year so, I can deliver modern styles as well (and I love them).

  • Fashion: In 2024 I worked in the biggest fashion runways in Vancouver (Vancouver Fashion Week, International Kids Runaway and Elevate Fashion Festival), and now in 2025 I am still working for some of them!

  • Stage and TV/film: I have been working with stage since 2024, being part of teams that create many different makeup looks and work with all styles and ages.
