I always knew my story would be written in hair. My journey into the beauty industry wasn’t just a career path, it was a calling. As early as high school, I chose hands-on experience over traditional study because I felt pulled toward something greater.

Since then I immersed myself in salon world, shadowing stylists and soaking up everything I could from my mentors. Then, at age 19, fueled by passion, determination and a whole lot of faith, I took a bold leap and purchased my first salon.

That decision became the foundation for everything that followed - growth, challenge, creativity and an insatiable drive to give back to the industry that had given me so much.

From hair shows to backstage moments and my time as a TIGI ambassador, I was in constant evolution. One of my proudest moments was owning a thriving Aveda salon in the historic Haymarket district of Lincoln, Nebraska. Within those walls, servicing clients and exploring techniques and tools to keep me organized, protect my body so I could do what I loved for a lifetime while enhancing every moment of creativity in style - Color Canvas Systems® was born. Here is... where creativity meets organization.
