I am an anti-fascist, non-binary, chronically ill, disabled, ​mentally ill, neurodivergent, poor, white, AFAB, queer, ​Master Barber, Master Cosmetologist, and artist. I have ​worked as a gender affirming barber and stylist for around ​15 years. I have also worked as an editorial stylist in ​multiple regional and national publications, a runway ​artist in front of thousands of industry professionals, lead ​makeup artist for a professional ballet company in ​Chicago, and I founded a private, queer aesthetics studio, ​Trust Studio. I also teach other stylists and barbers how to ​offer and execute truly affirming services.

I grew up in a swamp in the Deep ​South, but have lived all over the US, ​cutting hair and making questionable ​life choices. Now, I live in Asheville, ​North Carolina and spend my time ​reading, writing, making things, and ​cuddling the two quadrupeds with ​whom I share my life.
