Digital services for beauty businesses
Your clients choose you because of your craft. But they find you online first. I help beauty businesses in Campbell and Willow Glen turn their online presence into a client pipeline – not just a portfolio.
I trained in theatrical makeup design at Virginia Tech – aging, character, SFX – before spending 14 years building digital products. I understand service businesses from the inside: appointment flow, client relationships, the balance between artistry and operations.
Sound familiar?
Your booking system is clunky or outdated
Potential clients give up and book with someone easier to reach
Your Google reviews go unanswered
New clients see silence and wonder if you’re still in business
Your Instagram is your portfolio but it doesn’t convert
Followers admire your work but never book an appointment
