Get To Know Us

I am the shop owner and head artist of Proud Artistry Collective! 

I grew up in Southern California where I got my start in the cosmetology world back in 2009. After years of working behind a chair doing hair and makeup, I started to refocus my interests on anything eyebrows! I’ve always loved brow shaping, makeup, and tattoos and thought it was just a no brainer to move more in the direction of cosmetic tattooing. 

After about a year of practicing, training, and getting certified in 2015, I began taking my first clients and immediately fell in love with the whole process! I started out only offering micro blading but over the years have adopted better, more favorable techniques. Now I'm a Nano Hairstroke specialist- offering exclusively machine work- for several years now! On top of that I offer Lip Blushing, Lash Line Enhancement, and Freckles. I've developed my own process on how I approach each clients individual features and coloring. I've been certified in many different services so I'm able to better customize to each unique face I work with. I will always continue to educate myself and practice in order to offer my clients the best! I take pride in my craft and my artistry and strive to always better myself and my skills. Allowing that to shine through in my work is my ultimate goal! After 11 years of solely doing cosmetic tattooing, I continue to be most passionate about working with and serving my amazing clients who all put their trust in my abilities as an artist. It's always an honor to be chosen and that's something I will never take for granted.
