My work has never been limited to the salon chair. Professional hairstyling also takes me into fashion, photography, beauty competitions, creative productions, and education. These experiences continually sharpen my sense of proportion, technique, timing, and collaboration.
International Competitions & Recognition
Throughout my career, I have participated in national and international hairstyling competitions, building creative looks that require both technical control and original ideas. Selected recognitions include awards for creative coloring and competition hairstyling, recognition among leading stylist finalists, and professional honors connected to education.
Editorial Hairstyling
Editorial projects give hair a different purpose. A hairstyle must interact with lighting, movement, photography, makeup, clothing, and the mood of a collection. I enjoy designing shapes that express a creative idea while still respecting the structure and behavior of the hair.
My work includes fashion-inspired volume, geometric styling, textured silhouettes, polished waves, and avant-garde concepts for professional models and creative shoots.
Fashion Week & Backstage Experience
Working backstage is an exercise in discipline as much as artistry. Timing, consistency, preparation, and communication can determine whether the final look matches the creative direction across many models.
I have worked on fashion-related projects in Florida, both independently and in collaborative environments, and I continue to develop my experience in professional team preparation for runway hairstyling.
Judging, Speaking & Education
I have also participated in professional events as an educator, judge, and speaker. These roles matter because I believe that the beauty industry improves when technical ideas can be explained, demonstrated, challenged, and developed.
A Portfolio That Continues to Grow
My creative work feeds my everyday salon practice. The precision needed for a runway look can improve a haircut; the knowledge gained from difficult color corrections can improve a class; and an editorial project can reveal new possibilities for texture and shape.
