make-up artist + interior stylist

With a career spanning twenty-four years in beauty and an evolving passion for interiors, I bring the same intuitive eye for color, texture, balance, and individuality to both.

As a makeup artist, I’ve spent years understanding how subtle details can transform the way someone feels. That same sensibility naturally led me toward interiors, where I approach a space in much the same way—layering color, texture, objects, and light to create an atmosphere that feels personal, grounded, and refined.

I’m drawn to spaces that feel collected rather than overly designed: natural materials, beautiful textures and color palettes, vintage pieces, organic elements, and details that have history and tell a story. My approach is intuitive, approachable, and personal.

Whether I’m creating a makeup look or styling a room, the philosophy is the same: enhance what is already beautiful, create balance, and make it feel distinctly and soulfully yours.

Today, I bring both disciplines together through a creative practice centered on beauty, styling, and the art of creating an experience—one that feels authentic, elemental, and timeless.
