“I would have never found the medium to make my impression in this industry if I didn’t explore, get things wrong, and learn. I used to jump into projects without mapping them out first, never creating the look I set out to. After looking over incomplete works, I remembered something my mother always told me, ‘A look starts with a vision...’ I hope that through my brush and palette, I will provide the look that completes a person’s vision of themselves. ”
