She began freelancing for MAC and Smashbox Cosmetics in 2005 while establishing herself as a makeup artist in Philadelphia and New York for photo and video shoots. Since 2011 she has been one of the premiere commercial makeup artists in the greater Philadelphia area.
In 2018 she opened her permanent makeup studio, Harlequin Beauty Co, in the perfect location- a pink barn in Newtown, Bucks County, PA!

She has traveled around the country to study with top international trainers, and will continue to bring you the best and latest techniques. During her first year in permanent cosmetics, she was awarded Best of the Mainline for microblading.
