I'm a creative individual with a passion to learn and train hard. At NZFW25, I collaborated with the designers of Kathryn Wilson footwear, Taylor & Knufferman to elevate their image through hairstyling. I have experience in retail, customer service, cash handling and working under pressure. I'm comfortable working as part of a team and independently when required, and I'm prepared to go beyond to ensure consistent quality work and an outcome that suits both the customer and the business. I'm excited to continue growing my skills and bringing a friendly, proactive approach to every project, including makeup artistry, hair design, and fashion styling, while collaborating with clients and designers to deliver outstanding outcomes.
