I have always been in love with all things to do with fashion and beauty. At my Eighth grade graduation, I named my Ambition as a Fashion Designer, but my Peers voted my Probable Destination to be “my own best Customer!”. With my work experiences in colour, design and more recently, fashion and modeling, I have grown an impressive portfolio and an ability to recognize and carry out each client’s individual needs.
My history in the make-up industry is varied and continues to grow with new experiences every day. I studied both Interior Design and Fine Arts at the University of Manitoba and hold both a Bachelor of Arts and a Bachelor of Interior Design. For many years, I was employed as a colour expert and interior designer. I designed spaces, wrote magazine articles, conducted seminars for both design professionals and consumers, and tracked colour forecasts and trends around the world. I have been featured as a guest expert on many TV shows across Canada, making regular appearances on CityTV’s CityLine, as well as Breakfast TV in Calgary, Edmonton, Winnipeg, Calgary and Vancouver.
It was working with the many makeup artists on various TV sets and the makeup boutiques that I visited around the world that inspired me to take my colour expertise in a new direction. In 2007, I created the company Beautilicious, a makeup boutique and team of professional makeup artists. Through Beautilicious, I met and mentored a fabulous group of artists and was also introduced to many entreprenuerial woman, including a local representative from Stella & Dot.
In 2011 I am now a Star Stylist with Stella & Dot, as well as continuing to thrive as an Artist, creating an array of makeup, hair and artistry for clients.
