From a very young age, I was drawn to the world of beauty and makeup. One of my earliest memories is of asking my grandmother to be a daily client and borrowing any make-up she owned.

Every day, I would turn to my grandmother and ask to glam her up. She was always patient and willing to let me experiment with different looks. No matter how unpolished my techniques were back then, she would sit there, calmly allowing me to practice on her.

As I grew older, my interest in makeup didn’t fade; it intensified. I remember the pivotal moment when I first walked into a professional makeup studio for a master class. The atmosphere, the energy, and the sheer artistry I witnessed reaffirmed everything I had felt since those early days. I knew without a doubt that this was my calling. That studio felt like home, and in that space, surrounded by professionals, I realized that makeup was more than just a hobby—it was the career I was meant to pursue.

My grandmother’s support has been invaluable, and I often think about how those early days of experimenting with her makeup, and using her as my model, shaped who I am today. What began as childhood curiosity has evolved into a lifelong passion and career, and it all started with her faith in my abilities and her willingness to be my daily client. That simple act of love and encouragement set me on a path that led to the studio, and now, to the professional world of makeup artistry. I will always carry her love and support with me in every step I take on this journey.
