Be the truest most beautiful version of you
I´ve always done what felt right instead of what was easy and safe. That’s how I ended up in Australia for the first time at 19, and how the trajectory of my life was shaped from there.
Mariposa means butterfly in Spanish. I chose that name for my business when I heard it on my first solo trip to Marbella in 2017, because freedom and transformation are at the heart of everything I do – in the chair, in my teachings, and in life.
Just like a butterfly can’t see its own wings, we rarely see our own beauty clearly – that’s what I’m here for.
I’ve been in the beauty industry for over a decade – starting in Germany, working across Europe, and eventually following my heart back to Australia. I worked alongside some of the country’s leading artists including Rae Morris – a full circle moment that 26-year-old me only ever dared to dream of, because she didn’t feel ready or confident enough to belong in those rooms. Until Eight years later, it was the most natural thing: an ‘of course’ rather than a distant ‘I want’.
The beauty of becoming
I first got into education in 2024, coordinating masterclasses across Sydney, Brisbane and Melbourne with Australia’s largest hair and makeup company, before eventually starting to host my own.
That’s where my signature style truly found its shape – by being the bridge between worlds: the warmth and ease of Australian glam, and the softness and precision of the German in me. Years of back-to-back work taught me that the most stunning results don’t need to be complicated, they need a system with a spark of creative magic you can’t learn, only be.
I create high-end hair and makeup in half the time most artists take, because I lead my work the same way I lead my life:
How can I get from A to B as fast, and with as much fun and ease as possible?
Work smarter, not harder – earn more, do less – and do it in a way that actually brings you joy. Because we love fun, play, and bliss.
My Mocktail & Makeup sessions are designed exactly for that: a wholesome evening with your besties, learning something that makes you feel genuinely good about yourself. And for those ready to go deeper, I connect inner and outer beauty in coachings and workshops designed to anchor you in your true-sovereign power.
I absolutely love what I do. And am proud to have built a business that travels with me. Because just like a butterfly, my work was never meant to be tied to one place. And neither was I.
Explore. Experience. Express yourself.
Spread your wings and fly high, butterfly.
