With a background in theater, I’ve always viewed hair as a powerful medium for storytelling; every silhouette and texture evokes a specific "character," and I love leading with the question of what the hair says about who that person is. There is nothing more rewarding than seeing a model or client shift the way they carry themselves once their look is complete—that moment where their visual identity finally aligns with their inner main character. My journey began with a prestigious apprenticeship in Los Angeles, which provided a rigorous foundation across all disciplines and led me to join the Oribe runway and education teams, where I expanded my scope through major campaigns, editorials, and celebrity features. On set, I recognize that we are all pieces of a larger creative puzzle; I pride myself on knowing when the hair needs to do the heavy lifting and when it needs to virtually disappear to serve the vision. My constant goal is to create impactful, intentional looks while ensuring the hair remains cared for, healthy, and happy.
