Hey Friends, long time no posts from me! 😇
I’ve missed you all and I wouldn’t feel right if I didn’t come back without an update post!
Over the past couple of months, I’ve been working with so many awesome new and existing clients for weddings, events, projects, and daily self care needs and I wanted to share how truly thankful I am to be considered to be a part of these experiences!
Here’s a quick rundown:
✨Weddings galore! I’ve had the honor of helping couples and their loved ones look and feel their best on their special days.
✨Exciting collaborations with our local news channel KATU as their featured beauty professional for Afternoon Live. I love the KATU team and I’m excited for the upcoming segments that we have planned!
✨Elevated my branding thanks to the AMAZINGLY talented @michaelahphotography who produced my updated headshots. If you haven’t followed or booked your own session with her, you are missing out. I am not someone who is comfortable in front of the camera, however Michaela made my experience such a great one!
✨Invested in advanced education, focusing on multicultural skin training, K Beauty, and product knowledge.
✨Renewed my lease at my space to meet the growing demand of client comfort and convenience.
Your continued support has made all of this possible, and I’m beyond grateful. As we move forward into 2024, I’m excited to bring you even more services and content. Stay tuned for some exciting announcements coming soon! And as always, don’t hesitate to reach out for your beauty needs or just to say hi. You’re the reason I love what I do!
Since the start of this busy season I wanted to share my appreciation for all of you who have supported me and my business since the beginning and now. Thank you for being on this journey with me✨🥂🥹🩷
Hello Everyone! If you missed the chance to watch the live recording from yesterday’s KATU channel 2 broadcast, here it is! I’m so excited to share that my mother and I were on our local news channel teaching quick tips for on-the-go beauty! 💄💋
I’m so thankful for the opportunity to share this special moment with my beautiful and amazing mother. Getting to do this together means more than I can ask for! I want to give a huge shout out to the entire KATU news team for having us on air! As well as a special thanks to our Afternoon Live host Hannah for making us feel so welcomed and chatting with us through the segment - you are amazing!
When I started my career in beauty 10 years ago, I never imagined growing to this capacity or that my passion for beauty would lead to an appearance on the news! Helping others with makeup, skincare, and feeling confident in their own skin are so important to me, so it meant the world to be personally invited to share that message on such a big platform. Thanks for all the love and support, friends! ❤️ (Watch full segment on )
What an absolute honor to be the lead makeup artist for Nike’s latest SNKRS campaign featuring the incredible Sha’Carri Richardson! Having the opportunity to accentuate this legend’s natural beauty and create stunning looks that compliment her strength and grace was a dream.
Thank you so much to the phenomenal team at Recess and Nike for trusting me with this project! It was such a pleasure working alongside the talented creatives, photographers, set operators, producers and of course, the icon herself! The whole set was brimming with positive energy and good vibes all day!
I’m so grateful for opportunities like this where I get to collaborate with the best in the industry and do what I love. Making people look and feel beautiful is my greatest joy in life. Here’s to many more unforgettable days like this one! Let’s do it again soon! 💄✨

Had such a blast sharing some last-minute makeup tricks on air this week – because we all know Halloween plans can sometimes come together at the eleventh hour! 🎃
