On-Set Makeup Artist for Commercial, Editorial & Media Production
I’m a professional makeup artist specializing in commercial, editorial, and on-set production work. I’ve always loved the balance of creativity and precision this industry demands — creating looks that feel natural and elevated, but also perform under lighting, on camera, and through long production days. Whether it’s a brand campaign, television shoot, or editorial project, my goal is always the same: to make sure everything translates beautifully in the final image while still feeling like the person in the chair.
I’m based in Connecticut and work throughout New England and New York City, collaborating with photographers, stylists, and creative teams to bring a shared vision to life.

is a spirit
Throughout this journey, I've painted the faces of countless actors, entertainers and public figures for television, Broadway, commercials and beyond. Whether creating looks for corporate videos, fashion brands, or ecommerce shoots, each experience has enriched me and deepened my love for the art of makeup.
I'm thankful for the opportunities to collaborate with such diverse and creative individuals, and for every moment that has contributed to the colorful tapestry of my career.
When I look back on my 25 year journey, I am filled with gratitude for the colorful people and places that have shaped my career. From sets across the U.S. to breathtaking locations in Italy, France and Costa Rica, I've had the privilege of working with an incredible range of talent and personalities.
