Who are your muses? I tend to find my muses through beauty in the darkness, with influences from Gothic culture, classic horror, and Victorian-era fashion, as well as all things slightly bizarre, odd, and curious.

What is your luxury indulgence? Needing to balance all my career endeavors, I always have creative and colorful nails, spend long weekends at the Ringling House in Baraboo, Wisconsin, and frequently spend time with family and friends in Los Angeles.

A career highlight: In September 2014, I got the opportunity to style hair for several shows during New York Fashion Week. I assisted Ric Pipino and styled for the Georgine runway show.
