Shortly after I began my career as a professional manicurist in 90's, I joined Nicky Clarke's salon in Mayfair. The precision of my work, my close attention to details, and my calm and discreet personality caught the attention of the Daniel Galvin's family and in 1995, I started working at their London flagship salon in Marylebone. For two decades, it has been a privilege to grow as a Nail Artist in this celebrity hub, surrounded by the most talented hair stylists and colorists in the industry. From my time with Daniel Galvin's wonderful and incredibly close team, I set these rules for my work: to always deliver the very best personalized treatment to every client and to constantly ensure premium quality in the finished result.

I combine this extensive salon experience with my freelance work, which has led my brush to stroke the nails of more celebrities including Courteney Cox, Jennifer Aniston and queen of 'neo-soul' Erykah Badu. As a freelance nail artist, I represented leading nail beauty brands O.P.I. and Essie at numerous fashion shows. I have also been requested for various ad campaigns for companies such as Virgin Airlines, Boots and Procter & Gamble. Since 1993, I have been working at the London Fashion Week for some great designer shows including Issa, Mulberry, Simone Rocha and Richard Nicoll, only to mention the most recent ones.

One of my most memorable encounters was with Jimmy Choo. He liked my nail art and he asked me to create some nail designs to go with selected pieces of his collection. I got the best reward for my work: a glamorous pair of made-to-measure shoes from the master himself!

I take pride in delivering excellent services and I consider it is paramount I keep up-to-date with the latest nail beauty products and innovations. Every year I go to the International Beauty Show in New York, America's biggest professional-only nail and beauty show. It allows me to check on the latest industry developments, to participate to educational sessions with top experts and, very importantly, to network with my peers from across the world.
