WIG WORKING.
Seeing my work moving on film/video is the best part of my job. Working under pressure, being on set & pleasing the client while working as a team is the best pay off. I truly have a passion for this industry.
The creativity that the photoshoot setting allows is intoxicating. Pushing boundaries is a thrill & creating mood boards with the team is just as exciting.
My favorite off time activity usually involves my cats, husband, watching Netflix or petting sort of farm animal somewhere in the countryside.
My favorite thing about doing hair is that it literally has it's own spirit. It moves, it talks back, it makes you work for it.
In college I was (still am during down time) a sculpture, painter and dabbled in photography. I'm a huge fan of exploring shapes & the negative space they create with their environment.
My favorite part of this industry is meeting so many talented people. Chicago is filled with creatives with a fire inside of us all that cannot be tamed. For the most part the creatives I have worked with all have something in common: we were the weird kids in high school who would be told we had too much energy & couldn't stay in the lines & would be picked on. Who's laughing now?
