CURRENT MISSION

To become an international Professional Make-up Artist

ABOUT ME

I am new to couch surfing and the network - thankfully I have been converted by my friends Bina & Fredrik, who surfed with me last weekend ;o)
I have lived in India, Germany, South Africa and am currently based in the UK but working and studying for a few months in Berlin. I am really interested in meeting new people for friendship and am always on the lookout for people who could spare a few hours to sit for me while I apply their make-up. This usually happens in the mornings from 10.30 at yab academy in Charlottenburg but times can vary, so please give me a shout if you fancy getting made-up. Female and male models are welcome from all ethnic backgrounds. :o)) Usually the shoot will include hair styling and semi professional shoot - but it all depends.

PHILOSOPHY

I spent 6 years at an office job, thinking and working for somebody else. I got the chance to change my life and unleash the creative fury within me...and that is exactly what I am doing. I have learned that I need to do what makes me happy. I have no regrets and am so looking forward to the future!

I read shitloads but the two books that have left a serious impression on me are:

If you haven't read this, you haven't lived!!!!

Anthony Kiedis' 'Scartissue'
It moved me to tears and I understood the addiction a lot better.
