Originally from Melbourne, Australia, Amy discovered her passion for theatrical makeup and special effects while studying Performance Arts at Swinburne University in 2008. This newfound interest led her to pursue a Diploma of Fashion, Theatre & Film Makeup Artistry in Perth, Western Australia, graduating in 2009. Amy’s professional journey began with international cosmetic houses including Dior, Aveda, and MAC Cosmetics. Over the course of eight years, she earned multiple artistic certifications and awards, and contributed her talents to countless fashion shows, editorial shoots, and industry events.

There, she mentored and graduated over 100 students across beginner to advanced levels, preparing them for careers in the makeup industry. In 2016, Amy joined Channel Nine as a Hair & Makeup Artist, working on live broadcasts, promotional events, and TV commercials.

Seeking to broaden her skillset, Amy trained at the prestigious Los Angeles Cinema Makeup School in 2016 and 2017, where she honed her abilities in prosthetic fabrication, sculpture, blood rigging, wig making, and HD application. She also completed a six-month Lab Internship at CMS, assisting lecturers and students in Special FX makeup. Upon returning to Australia, Amy began working on feature films and television series in Hair, Makeup & Special FX departments.
