Desha'

Born and raised in New Orleans, Desha' found her love for creativity early on, using the eclectic city as inspiration. Makeup was always a first love, but she tried her hand at acting and traveled the country, modeling in Fashion Weeks and landing several magazine covers, before returning to makeup. Trained through several companies like MAC Cosmetics, Dior, and Chanel, Desha' started her own freelance makeup artistry business on the Gulf Coast that soon led her to the movie industry. She self-taught special effects makeup and later trained under Shane Morton of Silver Scream FX Studios in Atlanta and quickly found herself as lead makeup artist and assistant special effects artist in the thriller "Penance Lane," where she found her true love for working in the movie industry. Working her way through independent and TV movies, hard work soon paid off when she earned her way into the hair and makeup union, IATSE Local 798. A hard-working mom and devoted wife, balancing home life and a career in the fast-paced entertainment industry has proved to be no match for this artist; and she hopes to continue to be able to show off her creativity in beauty and special effects on-screen.
