Biography
As a young girl I grew up knowing that I wanted to be involved, creatively, with TV/Film & Fashion. I followed fashion, hair and make-up closely from a very young age with keen interests in theatre and film. At 16, I studied Hair & Make-Up at the London College of Fashion exploring further into my creative imagination and awakening the passion inside I have for make-up, the textures, colours and quick ways to transform a face into a look! I couldn't get enough of it! I went on further, to study in prosthetics and theatrical make-up, however found that my true zest was in fashion and beauty.
Following Make-Up college I worked for MAC Cosmetics for just over 2 years, including time spent in Sydney Australia, where the opportunity of fashion shows arose, it was then that I started to channel my skills, my speed picked up and I realized I wanted very much to get into the TV side of Make-Up. I started assisting within UK TV, The BBC, ITV, Channel 4 and more, working on a variety of different shows ranging from magic shows to reality to chat shows. It was during this period that I met my current client, Russell Brand, an English stand up comedian and star of St Trinians, Forgetting Sarah Marshall and Bedtime Stories.
Together, Russell and I have worked with one another for over 5 years and have formed a close bond and created many different styles and looks. Most notoriously, his back-combed signature hair-do that got him recognized on both sides of the pond!
My first feature Get Him To The Greek (spin off to Forgetting Sarah Marshall) starring Russell Brand alongside Jonah Hill is complete. Along with two MTV VMA shows, many TV shows (inc. David Letterman, Jay Leno, Conan O'Brian, Chelsea Lately) and the great pleasure of working with many amazing photographers for some fantastic magazine shoots such as Vogue, Vanity Fair, Elle, Paper, GQ, Esquire, Nylon and more.
Throughout my career as a Hair & Make-Up artist I have been fortunate enough to put all aspects of my trained skills into practice, from beauty, fashion, editorial, TV & film. My future dreams and ambitions are to seek out new opportunities, creating and designing exciting new Make-Up.
