Makeup Artistry, Fashion Design, Social Media Marketing

Stepping into a career path I chose business marketing specifically focusing on my desire and passion for fashion and beauty design. I explored making a styled outfit page for a creative outlet, to gain experience in aesthetics and to inspire others. This page has a variety of designs categorized around street style and modernized, classy trends. I offer virtual styling where I gather personalized pieces based off wardrobe desires. I am thrilled to have the opportunity to gain knowledge and educate myself on this journey to success.
