Born and raised in Maryland, I grew up creating art and began teaching myself SFX makeup from YouTube videos at the age of 13. I moved to Edinburgh 3 years ago, where I've lived, worked, and studied ever since. Having just finished my BA in Creative Hair and Media Makeup (Film & TV and Prosthetics), I now split my time between a salon and freelance, and experiment with mixed media art in my free time, often taking inspiration from nature and cycles of decay.

I approach my work with research and anatomical understanding; my dream is to one day work on a team creating medically realistic prosthetics and effects for films and shows such as The Pitt.
