Winning an AHFA20 Award for my Hair Shot was an incredible milestone in my career. As a JOICO Guest Artist and someone who lives for creative expression, this recognition feels like a celebration of the artistry and passion that drives me every day.
The Vision Behind the Shot
Creating the award-winning shot was about more than just hair; it was about telling a story. I wanted to combine bold colour with a unique style that captured movement, texture, and emotion. Working on this piece was as much about creativity as it was about technical precision, and I’m so proud of the final result.

What This Win Means to Me
Receiving the AHFA20 award for Hair Shot is a dream come true. It’s a reflection of the countless hours spent perfecting my craft, collaborating with an incredible team, and drawing inspiration from the world around me.
This win isn’t just for me—it’s for everyone who has supported my journey, from clients to colleagues to the amazing JOICO family.
