Events & Theatre
EventsI bring over a decade of professional makeup, SFX, prosthetics, and body art experience to live events of all scales. Whether you’re producing a high-end corporate event, an immersive experience, or festival promotion, I deliver creative, reliable artistry that enhances your event.
I’m comfortable working to timeframes, managing a team, adapting to changing schedules, and collaborating closely with performers, directors, and event managers. My cosmetic-grade kit is suitable for sensitive skin, cruelty free and durable for those high-energy shows. Hygiene and safety are always a priority and I carry full liability insurance as standard.
From bold statement looks to intricate up-close designs or full creature and character transformations, I create looks that photograph beautifully and hold up under live conditions. My aim is to support your team, elevate the desired ambience, and help your clients and guests leave with a memorable experience.
My first professional theatre job was in 2015 working at the New Zealand Opera as an assistant for Wigs Hair and Makeup(WHAM) and costume. I was immediately struck by the good-natured camaraderie of the company, which has profoundly influenced my approach in building rapport between cast and crew alike. I believe open and supportive communication is the backbone towards successfully achieving the overall creative vision and I love to see a team flourish and thrive in these often-chaotic environments.
Theatre
Having worked on projects of varying scale in immersive productions, stage shows, and live events over the years, I’m confident recreating and delivering established designs, or working alongside producers and designers to establish new character aesthetics. The right makeup and costume, not only enhances the narrative, but allows both the audience and actors to believe in that world.
With experience as a Makeup Supervisor and WHAM Designer for stage and immersive theatre, I ensure continuity and create looks suitable for cast self-application. I offer creative solutions for quick changes as well as durable looks, alongside flawless, camera-ready makeup for promotional and press needs. I can assist, supervise, lead, or hire teams for your production.
