When and how did you get started in this industry?
I was born and raised on Long Island, New York before moving to Manhattan. It really was where my strong desire to work in the make-up industry began - being surrounded by such high fashion and all the stimulation that the Big Apple creates.
What brought you to Madison, Wisconsin?
Following my stint in Manhattan, I moved to Chicago for a great opportunity to work for Laura Mercier - a French make-up artist and businesswoman. This business was awe-inspiring thereby driving me to launch my own business. Since then, I’ve had the honor to work with many high profile brands including Estee Lauder, Aveda, and M.A.C. It was in Chicago that I met my husband, fell in love, got hitched and together we moved to Madison. We have two beautiful children and currently live in a small suburb called Middleton.
As a make-up artist, what makes you unique?
Our team takes a boutique approach to working with every client. We embrace traditional ideas of luxury guest care and high-level makeup technique to give you not only a flawless look for your special day, but the experience to make you feel incredible throughout the whole process.
In addition, have a diverse team with a range of ages. backgrounds, experience and styles to ensure that each guest gets exactly the look they need without sacrificing a next level experience.
Where are you now in your career?
I have grown so much as an entrepreneur and artist, and am certainly at a different place in my career than when I started! In 2014, with two teenagers and tons of passion. Then, my life, my business and my goals were totally different!
Now, as a leader with a team, over a decade of entrepreneurial experience, and a passion for supporting commercial photography, my career has led me to an incredible niche. I get to work with models, brides, photographers and all kinds of people on days where not only how they look, but especially how they feel matters. That hasn’t changed from the start, and neither has my excitement to make it happen.
What do you enjoy doing outside of your beloved work?
In my spare time, I love to travel, cook (I’m Italian!), work out, and spend time with family & friends.
