It All Started When....
As a little girl, I was enchanted by weddings, especially the brides. I remember one morning, a neighbour emerged from her house on her wedding day, ready to leave for her ceremony, and I was in awe. Witnessing the magic of a beautiful bride on her special day felt like stepping into a fairytale. That's when my fascination was born.
Soon after, my Grandad lovingly made my sister and me a dollhouse each, with a shop underneath. While my sister, who adored animals, chose to create a pet shop, I decided on a bridal boutique. At school, I became captivated by makeup and how it made me feel the sense of calm and contentment I experienced when applying it to myself. This love for makeup expanded into a passion for all things fashion, commercial, and creative.
But what I cherished most was realizing how I could empower women, how I could help their insecurities fade away when they realize that the woman staring back at them, radiating beauty, is themselves. Over the years, I've developed my signature style, one that celebrates authentic beauty.
