Job Description: Makeup artist, dewy dumpling 

Muse: Yada Villaret, she's a friend, a sweetheart, and has the most beautiful canvas to paint. 

Favorite city for inspiration: New York City

Dream client: Bella Hadid 

Introvert or extrovert: Extrovert

Daily uniform: Right now, I am really into jumpsuits. I call them my "dumpling off-duty" look. I also wear a lot of black lace and plunging necklines. 

Cats or dogs: Dogs, especially Pomeranians.

Theme song: Like a Virgin by Madonna.

AM ritual: I am on the celery juice bandwagon, so it’s nice to start there. Obviously, I DEW my 9-step skincare regime and while I’m putting on my makeup, I usually listen to Oprah’s podcast. Also, if the weather is nice out, then I skip to my local West Village coffees shop, Partners, sit there and I just love people watching.

PM wind down: Sometimes I take a puff of my Dosist pen in my favorite flavor, bliss. It helps to relieve stress.  I also like to listen to Liquid Mind music to relax. I try to get off my phone at least one hour before I go to bed, and of course, I find great joy in my skincare ritual, which changes all the time. 

Greatest escape: I am lucky enough to travel so much for work, but to be honest, ironically, my favorite escape is my home in the West Village in New York. At this point in my career, staying home and sleeping in my own bed is a luxury. It’s a treat to sit in my apartment and rediscover New York City. I always say that if you are bored in NYC, you are boring. This city continues to excite me. 

Secret skill: I have a photographic memory.

Biggest struggle: Being present. I am trying to be more mindful and spend less time on my phone.
