Let me introduce myself and tell you a little about the creative journey I have been on that has led me to become a Professional Makeup Artist. I studied Graphic Design when I left school, with the aspirations of working in the magazine industry, in particular, fashion and beauty. I wanted to have a thorough understanding of all aspects of the industry, and therefore undertook extra study in Photography and Makeup Artistry. After a brief stint as a Freelance Graphic Artist I did what every other 20 something was doing with their tertiary education – packed my bags and moved to London #goodtimes#thatIcanremember. When I returned home I helped my old man run the family business, while continuing to do makeup and photography on the side. I felt a passion for Makeup Artistry and enrolled in various Masterclasses and courses to further my skills. The family business was sold when my old man retired, which presented the perfect opportunity for me to pursue a full time career along a creative path that I genuinely love and enjoy.
I’m a creative soul. I’ve dabbled in a lot of aspects of creative arts over the years – illustration, painting, typography and signwriting, millinery, photography, design, sewing, arts and crafts. It’s a passion, and I’m extremely grateful that I have been able to turn my creative passion into a career.
