Career
“After completing my degree in Computer Science, I set out to follow my dream of being an artist. I am known for bridal hair and make-up around Namibia. Working with brides to create cherished memories is my most rewarding work.”
“I made my solo debut as Namibia’s first black bridal hair and make-up artist operating my own company by the name of Ada’s Creation. I did not plan to become a make-up artist, it just happened by default, my passion has always been in the hair business.”
“I did my cousin’s wedding back in 2012 and the rest is history. I have chosen to work in the bridal industry because most people have a budget for their wedding. I am consistently working with brides. I have come to be known as the bridal hair and make-up artist of choice.”
“I worked on a number of high profile clients across the country including our current President’s wedding where I handled the family’s hair and make-up. This was indeed the highlight of my career.”
“Business grew tremendously towards the end of last year. I realised I was busy every other weekend. I had to seek financial guidance. This was when I finally hired an accountant for bookkeeping. By hiring a financial advisor, I developed a habit of saving, opened up a Business Trust account, and I gave myself a salary fixed at 25% of the monthly profit.”
“The beauty industry has taken over and I feel lucky to be part of it. Women are more sensitive to how they look nowadays. You find ladies visiting a salon twice a week and buying expensive Brazilian hair once or twice a month. I have clients calling me to go do their make-up at 6am because they have other important meetings.”
Education

Higher National Diploma in Computer Science from the Higher Technical Institute in Cyprus.
Credo
“I have a passion for hair and everything beautiful. As a child I have always been good with my hands from drawing to making little outfits for my dolls. I believe in doing something with a passion or not doing it at all. I want to help women feel special, beautiful and powerful. Every women is beautiful but with make-up her confidence, self-awareness and femininity remain.”
