About My Journey.
My journey as a makeup artist began with childhood struggles with body dysmorphic disorder. What started as an attempt to redraw my own face out of self-dislike evolved into a deeply moving experience—transforming my love for painting and craftsmanship into the magical art of enhancing beauty for myself and others.
In pursuit of so-called stability, I explored various artistic practices and professions, often feeling lost and starting over. Yet, through this process of breaking and rebuilding, I ultimately forged my own unique path in makeup artistry, specializing in creative and SFX makeup, blending diverse cross-disciplinary art forms into something truly my own.
