I became a colorist because: Color is painting, and painting has always been my creative outlet. Chemistry was also a favorite class in high school.
My favorite techniques right now: I have two, and they’re totally different: extremely soft pastels, which give subtle kisses of unnatural color, and blending fashion hues with natural tones for a lived-in look, because it’s a refreshing change from bleaching every head.
My inspiration comes from: Daily life and nature—the skyline of a city, how the sun makes prisms on a window, or the many contrasting colors found on the small wings of a butterfly.
