Based in Los Angeles, I am a creative multi-tasker: editor, creative director, writer, DJ, and makeup artist. My creativity is strongly linked to music, fashion, design, and the beauty found everywhere from the mundane to the macabre. 

As a writer, I primarily focus on artists and alternative culture. My experience with print and online publications has sparked a fascination with the relationship between art and commerce. I’m always looking for the next emerging artist to cover or an opportunity to write about the history of artists, art scenes, and culturally significant events to explore how subculture is forever influencing mainstream media and the collective zeitgeist. Having previously served as Associate Editor for Auxiliary Magazine and Editor-in-Chief for Lethal Amounts, I have overseen teams of creatives to produce content that has been published in print and online. As of 2024 I co-founded Occulture, a media company supporting artists through a range of services focused on brand development and marketing along with an online publication fusing explorations of events and figures of subculture with content that directly supports artists looking to deepen their understanding of the business of being an artist in today’s world.

A self-taught makeup artist with an education in fine arts (art history, painting, and printmaking) I've worked in the beauty industry since 2013 and continue to take on projects as Creative Director to produce beauty and fashion editorials as well as portraits of creatives. My current focus as a makeup artist is on editorials, music videos, and commercial advertising for digital and print media.

My lifelong love of music led me to play music, most recently with the band Ravens Moreland and as a DJ under the moniker Lizzie Sixx where I play all manner of dark music, from fuzzed out garage nuggets to rock 'n' roll, punk, new wave, post-punk and anything in between that suits my predilection for dark and resonant music.
