Quacking my 9-5 in order to achieve my goals as a professional makeup artist and influencer
As always, we appreciate you sharing your insights and we’ve got a few more questions for you, but before we get to all of that can you take a minute to introduce yourself and give our readers some of your back background and context?
As a professional makeup artist in tv and film for over 8 years. Self proclaimed entrepreneur music artist and influencer. I’ve made a name for myself in Atlanta working with stars such as the Braxton’s, Elaine Hendrix, love and Hiphop stars and so many more! I create intricate looks on my self as well as my clients, beauty slightly elevated with an eye in photography. I strive for bigger and better now that I’m a local union artist I’m gearing and preparing for movies on the big screen.
What’s worked well for you in terms of a source for new clients?
My best source for new clients has been google, having my business listed on the web as an actual business “google business, yelp and bing has help others who aren’t social media friendly to find me with ease.
How did you put together the initial capital you needed to start your business?
Funding your own business can be daunting yet fulfilling. Over the years you start small & expand, make purchases along the way of your career and never buy in bulk.
