As a Hair colorist at Sam Brocato Salon, I love creating beauty beyond boundaries. My passion for transformation services includes fashion shades and brunettes. Throughout this journey I unlocked a new dimension of artistry, photography. Learning contrast through depth and dimension has sharpened my eye behind the chair and lens.
Where do you find inspiration?I find inspiration from walking down the streets of New York City especially the East village and SoHo. Being an observant person, I notice every little detail, from the streets down to the people. Tim Burton films are a huge inspiration because of the color, mood and down to his use of storytelling. Lastly, my love for cosplay plays a major role in my creative journey. It’s a reminder that I’m a blank canvas and I can create without limits.
What would you do with $25,000?The first thing I would do with 25,000 is put some towards a downpayment for a home. After I would help animals in need and support the children and young adults in foster care. I would love to mentor them through any form or art. Then I would continue working through my bucket list, visiting the Seven Wonders of the World and exploring haunting destinations. Lastly, I would love to create a space where artists can express themselves freely through their craft.
