Since my teenage years, I’ve been drawn to nail art and the beauty behind it. As I got older, that desire continued to resurface, even though I didn’t consider myself artistic or skilled at drawing at the time. I began doing my own nails and my friends’ nails simply for fun, and quickly fell in love not only with the creative process, but with how it made me feel; and how it made others feel after getting their nails done. Seeing the confidence and joy that came from something I created became my greatest inspiration.

In 2024, I took a leap of faith and turned my passion into a career by enrolling in school to pursue my manicuring license. In August 2024, I graduated and successfully passed my state board exam, officially becoming a fully licensed nail technician.
