About

I am a highly creative makeup artist with a degree in Media Makeup, Special Effects, and Hair Design. Trained in period hair and makeup, airbrush makeup, prosthetics, wig design and making, and creative makeup artistry, I blend artistic vision with technical skill to conceptualise and deliver bold, high-impact looks from idea to execution. Over the past decade I have had the privilege of working on series and films such as BBC Riot Women & Sirius. Also previously working on independent short films, and theatre productions. I occasionally run a festival-focused brand that specialises in face/body art, airbrushing, body marbling, glitter designs, and custom festival fashion. I thrive in dynamic environments, collaborating on-set and at events across the UK and overseas to bring creative concepts to life.
