Why beauty you may ask?
Her passion for beauty began with her own personal journey with makeup. As a POC teenager, her makeup journey started within the stores staring at the glossy displays filled with all the fun and popular makeup products. Picking out lipsticks and eyeshadows was exciting, finding the right foundation shade was confusing, and using setting spray was non-existing. Yet as all beauty lovers know, it takes time and practice to nail down your beauty routine, and soon enough it becomes a self care routine.
Now that she’s equipped with product design skills, she feels confident that she can provide a new and different perspective when it comes to beauty products. Her goal is to showcase a bigger range of beauty, expanding the possibilities for the industry.
