Q. What motivated you to start your career as a hairstylist and barber?
I’ve always been drawn to creativity, but it took time to realize that hair would be my medium.
At first, I explored different aspects of the craft, but I was most connected to precision cutting and the structure behind it.
Over time, my work expanded beyond the chair into education, design, and creative direction.
My path has been shaped by curiosity and a desire to refine both my skills and the tools I work with. Every step has been about moving things forward while staying true to my own artistic sensibilities.
Q. Is there a philosophy or message that you value in your work or creative process?
Hair is a form of storytelling. I approach it through the lens of design, considering balance, structure, and movement.
My focus is always on refinement, simplifying and stripping away excess to create something that feels effortless yet precise, the tools and techniques we use should evolve with us.
More than anything, I want my work to feel timeless, not tied to trends but to the individuality of the person wearing it.
Q. Please tell us about the trends in the world that you’re currently paying attention to, and what do you think the future of “creative” looks like?
I’m drawn to the intersection of craftsmanship and innovation. Exploring how new materials, ergonomics, and design can enhance both the experience of the artist and the outcome of the work.
Sustainability is also a key focus, thinking about longevity rather than disposability.
Creatively, I see a shift toward more sculptural and intentional hair design, with less emphasis on trends and more on personal expression.
That idea has always resonated with me and continues to shape how I approach my work.
