somehow never shared this published cover ✨

bold, polished, cinematic—the kind of creative storytelling i love being part of

one of my favorite things about this industry is the opportunity to move between editorial, advertising, commercial, celebrity + branded content, adapting each look to support the story while keeping it authentic, elevated + camera-ready

grateful for the talented teams + creative collaborations that continue to trust me with their vision

✨ double dutch braids meeting a sleek half-up style—secure, polished + ready to keep up with every turn, leap + performance

the final brush out gets all the credit, but the set does the heavy lifting ✨

the right set creates the movement, shape + longevity behind every great glam wave

the best beauty inspiration has never lived within four walls—endlessly inspired by the way the elements bring texture, movement + story to life
