I grew up alongside a brother who had acne prone skin. My mom would buy Neutrogena salicylic acid face washes and benzoyl peroxide spot treatments which were left out on the counter and there my fascination with ingredients was born.

At 19, my curiosity led me to Estee Lauder as a skincare specialist. There, surrounded by products wrapped in light blue, I delved into the mysteries of their ingredients. I was driven by a simple question: "What makes good skincare truly great?" My quest for answers led me to resources like Simple Skincare Science and Paula Begoun’s Beautypedia. These platforms not only educated me but helped shape the skincare philosophies I proudly stand by today. 

As an adult, my skin-obsession led to jobs with beauty brands like Credo Beauty, OSEA Malibu, and RMS Beauty. But I always knew deep down that I wanted to work directly with people to address their skin concerns.

I believe in skincare that transcends mere aesthetics. It's about crafting solutions that are accessible, sustainable, well-formulated, and personalized to each skin type and condition. This belief is the cornerstone of my approach.
