Before makeup, I studied photography and worked as an image retoucher. After taking time out to travel through Southeast Asia, I realised I wanted a career that was still creative, but much more people-focused. That's what led me to makeup.

I came home and retrained, going on to work for luxury beauty brands Charlotte Tilbury and Bobbi Brown before launching my own business and specialising in bridal makeup.

Whilst I absolutely love creating beautiful makeup, what matters most to me is the experience and the people I get to meet along the way.

I'm naturally a quieter, more introverted presence, and I see that as a strength. I'm here for the brides who feel a little intimidated by the idea of "bridal beauty" (I've been that girl who felt nervous walking into a beauty hall), those who feel a little overwhelmed by all the attention that comes with being a bride, and those who simply want a calm atmosphere and might just need a moment to breathe.

My role is about more than just creating makeup you'll love in your photographs. It's about creating a space where you feel relaxed, supported and completely comfortable being yourself.
