Your style is a reflection of what you feel inside. I guide individuals with tools that will help them bridge their inner and outer worlds - a liberating process as people discover hidden facets of themselves. Based on these discoveries, I help individuals re-create their style to reflect the change on the inside - from clothes and accessories to hair and make-up. More than an image consultant, my goal is to connect the emotional and the aesthetic; to help people that are misunderstood by society - "the outsiders" - to embrace their uniqueness and express it accordingly; for people to come away feeling energised as they grow and bloom from the inside out. Having felt displaced as an outsider for much of my life (as a South African growing up in Beverly Hills) and often having been misunderstood myself for experimenting with crazy styles, this topic is close to my heart. I am a qualified and certified professional makeup artist who was taught by Joe Blasco - the top motion picture makeup school in Hollywood. With my mother being a personal hairstylist to Hollywood A-list actors, I was privileged to grow up surrounded by highly creative and successful makeup artists and stylists, who subsequently became my mentors. My eye for styling was honed working for a Los Angeles-based designer. Contact me for a quotation.
