I’m an award-winning nail artist, educator, and mentor with over a decade in the industry, and I’ve built my career doing more than just fun nails. I’ve placed on global nail competition stages, had my work featured in major nail publications, worked on CND ad campaigns, and created editorial-level nail art for photoshoots and creative projects. I’ve also worked with celebrity clientele, where precision, professionalism, and confidence aren’t optional they’re the standard. (No seriously, working with celebrities is no joke)

But here’s the part that matters most:
I didn’t just know how to do nails…  I know how to build a profitable, sustainable nail business.

I’m the owner of The Dollhouse NWI, a salon space built for artists who want more than burnout and back to back chaos. I know firsthand what it takes to go from “talented but overwhelmed” to booked, confident, and paid properly — because I’ve lived it.

My teaching style is clear, down-to-earth, and big on WHY. I break intimidating nail art into simple, repeatable steps, and I teach business in a way that actually makes sense for creative brains. No gatekeeping. No fluff. No “just manifest it” nonsense.

If you want to:

Decode nail art instead of copying it

Understand your pricing instead of guessing

Feel confident calling yourself a business owner

And leave class actually excited to try what you learned

You’re in the right place, and I’m so glad you’re here.
