Say Hello
My family nicknamed me “Roo,” from Winnie the Pooh—perhaps because i was known to bounce from project to project.
Taking on new creative passion projects is absolutely my thing. I sometimes get carried away, but I don’t mind the mess because it feeds my creative soul.
I love Audrey Hepburn and old hollywood glamour. I feel incredibly inspired flipping through vintage lookbooks. I even named my first studio audrey.
I am most passionate about vintage finds, fashion and photography—in addition to hair and makeup, of course!
In my free time, you can catch me recovering after a long day of wedding services in a bubble bath with lush bath bombs—my secret obsession.
Caesar cocktails are my favorite and I order them even if it’s not socially appropriate - I don’t think fancy restaurants appreciate my cocktail pairing skills.
I love midnight snacks and often fall asleep with them right beside me in bed—I may or may not roll over to nibble mid-sleep.
