I’m a proud mom, wife, and grandma, my family lovingly calls me “Riri.” I’m also a dog mom to three sweet and sassy fur babies who bring so much joy (and a little chaos!) to my everyday life.

My love for hair and makeup started when I was just six years old. I remember picking up a makeup brush for the first time and feeling completely lit up inside. Inspired by beauty icons like Cher, Selena, and Aaliyah, I saw makeup as more than just a way to look good, it was how I expressed myself, especially during the hard moments in life.

After earning my degree and working in marketing for a few years, I decided to follow my heart and pursue a career in beauty. I went to cosmetology school, started out as a colorist, and eventually expanded into cutting, styling, and self-taught makeup artistry. Over time, I found my true passion in working with brides and creating beautiful looks for special events and photoshoots.

I’ve now been in the beauty industry for over 15 years, and I still get excited every time I get to help someone feel like the best version of themselves. My goal is to create a look that feels like you: elevated, radiant, and effortlessly beautiful. I’m often told I bring a calming energy to wedding days, which makes me so happy because helping my clients feel at ease is just as important to me as making them look incredible.

When I’m not working, you’ll find me hiking, traveling, spending time with my family, or simply finding ways to lift up the people around me. Helping others feel beautiful, inside and out, is truly what lights me up.

I’m so glad you’re here. Let’s create something beautiful together.
