‘I’ve been working as a manicurist for over a decade now, but my love for beauty and creativity started long before it became my profession. I grew up in a creative family where artistic expression was part of everyday life. My sister, a special effects makeup artist, really sparked that early fascination — and over the years, I naturally found my own path through nails. I’ve worked across fashion, cinema, and editorial, always drawn to projects where nails are treated as more than just an accessory. My approach is rooted in precision, nail health, and a deep respect for the creative direction of each project. Whether it’s a clean, natural look or something more conceptual, I aim to create work that feels intentional and elevated. I’m constantly inspired by the impact of subtlety. There’s something powerful about a perfectly executed, minimal nail — it can completely transform a look without ever overpowering it. Clean lines, soft textures, and timeless design are always at the core of my work.’
