Philosophy:

I was born in Angola, Africa and subsequently lived in Lisbon, Portugal and the Azores before settling in the U.S.  Although I consider myself 100% American, I have never lost touch with my European upbringing.  I believe that having the exposure to so many diverse ideas of what is considered beautiful allows me to see each person's natural beauty and magnify it.  I truley believe that with color and a great cut we can transform more than just how we look, we can transform how we feel and how the rest of the world reacts to us.
