Website updates

Still in the process of finishing updates to the layout/design of my site. I've had my site for over a year now and in that time been able to figure out how it could be better than originally planned. For a start it's in flash which can't be viewed on smart phones so that will be changed. I also have lots of new work to be updated, which I am excited to show. Re-launch of my site will be end of January 2012 now...

...also sent over my new business cards to be printed, just hope they haven't shut up shop for Christmas yet!

2010/2011

2010 was a wonderful year for me.  Always watching, listening and taking in as much knowledge of the world and people that surrounded me, enabling me to learn new skills and build upon my existing skills as a Hair and Make-Up Artist.
Continued ambition, commitment and passion are important to me as I move through 2011.
So a big thankyou to the Photographers, Models, Set Designers, Designers, Stylists, Hairstylists and Blog's who have been a major part in what has been a another year of great ideas and creativity.
I have a publication coming out soon, a new T.V show is being aired for Channel 4 in March which I worked on and some exciting work in the pipeline.... Updates to follow.

HAPPY NEW YEAR ALL x

Full shoot nearly complete on my website -
