About

I'm a multidisciplinary artist and hair stylist based in Seattle with over 10 years experience in the US, and abroad. I travel between Seattle and my hometown of Tampa Florida quarterly to do guest spot pop ups. If youโ€™re interested in getting your hair done in either city, use the booking links below.

Behind The Chair

Hair has always been a physical extension of how I think about structure, movement, and form. Behind the chair, I work with my hands the same way I work with digital tools in my free time. Sculpting shapes, creating contrast, and chasing balance.

I've been cutting and coloring hair for over a decade now. It's a craft that keeps evolving with me. Some days it's about precision and control. Other days, it's about letting the haircut breathe and take on a life of its own. I work with what's there. Texture, bone structure, mood and push it just far enough to feel fresh but still wearable.

Stepping out of my comfort zone has shaped me more than anything else. I've traveled across the U.S. and abroad, spending time working in Oslo, Norway, Los Angeles, California, and Seattle, Washington. Being in new environments, surrounded by different styles, cultures, and perspectives, challenged me to grow not just as a designer, but as a person. There's a kind of learning you only get from experience: listening, adapting, showing up in unfamiliar spaces, and finding your way through. If you're in the Seattle or Tampa area and want to sit in my chair, I'd love to work with you.
