I started my beauty journey as a freelance makeup artist in Kansas City, glamming up gorgeous faces for weddings, photoshoots, and fitness competitions. Makeup was my creative outlet—but before long, I wanted to go deeper… literally! I became fascinated by skin and how it works. When clients would apologize for their breakouts or fine lines, I knew I wanted to help them feel beautiful without makeup, too.

In 2009, I became a Licensed Aesthetician and spent over a decade in dermatology and plastic surgery, specializing in advanced skin treatments—lasers, peels, collagen therapies, and medical-grade skincare. My goal? To help clients love the skin they’re in, no filter required.

Eventually, I felt the pull back to my artistic roots and discovered my next love—permanent makeup. I trained in Microblading, Lip Blushing, and completed an apprenticeship under industry leader Tina Burch, earning my Missouri Tattoo License. And just like that, Aesthet·ink Studio was born!

I believe glowing skin and soft, natural permanent makeup are the perfect pair. My mission is simple: to help you wake up every day feeling confident, radiant, and effortlessly beautiful. ✨
