I can teach you how to bewitch the mind and ensnare the senses - or at least as far as crafting one hell of a cosmetic product can.

Grounded in chemistry, I have varied experience in both research and product formulation, as well as science education and communication. I draw from my early academic research in peptide technology and industrial materials science, my time as a formulation chemist at contract manufacturers, and years as a product developer and science spokesman at a rapidly growing biotech brand (now an industry leader in haircare).

I believe that magic is science that we don’t understand, and by breaking complex science down we can share that magic with the world. No myths, no misinformation, no misrepresentation.

I am incredibly passionate about employing evidence-driven decisions to devise the most technically robust and efficacious formulations. I am ardently meticulous, creatively innovative, and ethically responsible.

If your vision and uncompromising ethics sound in line with this philosophy, I would love to offer my support and help you build your brand portfolio—no matter how large or small.

Happy potionmaking!

A bit more info about my experience:

I have worked in various sectors of the cosmetics world, from formulating on the bench spanning color cosmetics, skincare, and hair care for brands as well as contract manufacturers.

Before entering cosmetics I worked briefly in materials science, specifically technical service in the paints and coatings industry (there is a surprising amount of overlap!)

At university, I studied peptide synthesis and metal coordination chemistry for my thesis work.
