I trained as a fine artist at Saint Martins on a foundation course, and decided it really wasn't for me, I wanted to work more with the public, so I then went on to study makeup, fashion styling and hair at Saint Martins, and the other side of Saint Martins, which is London College of Fashion, and we did a lot of work experience there working with models, going on shoots, got a lot of background experience, and then I decided to set up my own company, which is where I am now.
