I was that kid who took things apart (sorry, Mom and Dad). My childhood desire to know “how things work” remains strong, which is why I’ve immersed myself in multiple areas of the cosmetic industry.

I earned my title of industry expert through decades of training and hard work. I’ve spent almost 35 years upfront as a makeup artist (5 nominations and 2 Emmy Awards) and a respected educator/trainer. I’ve spent over 20 years behind the scenes as a successful brand consultant and product developer.

My deep passion for all areas of the cosmetic industry allows me to view it through many lenses.
