Owner and Operator of Devine Designs, LLC

As long as I can remember, I have always wanted to be a makeup artist. I would work to save money and then buy makeup. I would sit at my vanity and teach myself how to do makeup. I would play with makeup almost every night after school.I look at faces and bodies as a canvas and love to put my art on them. Everyone is different and unique. I love to make every person feel beautiful, confident, special, and catered to.

I was a manager at Ulta while I was in cosmetology school. I graduated from school, passed my state board exams, and received my cosmetology license in November 2015. I transferred from management to the Benefit Brow Bar. I built up the business and had full books very quickly. I was at the top of sales and product releases as well. I quickly realized how much money I was making for Ulta and knew I could put that hard work in for myself. I started Devine Designs LLC in August 2016, just 7 months later.

As a developer with a degree in Marketing, I feel I have an unfair advantage in developing websites. Not only do I have a good idea as to "what sells", but once there's a plan and website design in place, I can develop it as well. I've worked as a developer for big companies and small marketing agencies so I've seen a lot of different kinds of projects. From Wordpress, to React, to AWS Lambda functions and a lot of others in between, I can figure out the right solution for the problem at hand.

While I love Javascript based projects using React, React Native or Node.js the most, I also work on plenty of Wordpress sites and other types of sites. I've worked with a lot of different technologies, but one thing I find I'm pretty good at is just "figuring it out". If I haven't worked with a certain framework or language, I'm quick to pick it up and make meaningful contributions.

Hi I'm Maria! I am a theatre and voiceover actor, instructional designer, and presentation skills coach. Before building a career as an instructional designer and facilitator, I trained to be an actor. Both the arts and education allow me to pursue her goal to foster intercommunication, mutual understanding, and respect by telling people’s stories; letting them be recognized, heard, understood, and appreciated. My passion is creating inclusive, fun, and impactful learning experiences. As an instructor and designer, my focus is on empowerment, based on the belief that people of all skill levels can find success – no matter what their role or level of tech-savvy might be. After serving as an in-house instructional designer and facilitator for multiple companies, she built her own consulting practice to build powerful learning experiences for organizations and empower people to build their presentation and facilitation skills.

What I love to bring to my work are the two sides of my career - as an artist and instructional designer. I've spent over a decade building working in tech and over two decades as a performer. The most surprising thing about my career has been how powerful integrating these two parts of myself has been for my development, success, and competitive edge. I love helping my clients find this internal unity as well.

Since I was a kid watching my retired sign-painter Grandfather effortlessly paint letters, I've known that graphic design was the path for me. I received a BFA in Visual Communications with a minor in Art History from Truman State University in Kirksville, Missouri. Since then, I've worked on a range of clients including Microsoft, United Airlines, The U.S. Army, Chevron, George Remus Bourbon, Lockheed Martin, Choboni and Little Golden Books.

Part of what keeps me so engaged in this career is the never-ending opportunity to gain and polish new skills. I'm eager to deliver that final product that incorporates a little more than the client expects from me. I try to regularly engage in tutorials and exercises that challenge my skillset and make me a more well-rounded creative.

&nbsp;Hello, my name is Hector, originally from Phoenix, Az. but now based in Chicago, IL.&nbsp;I have been working as a makeup artist for the past 12 years. In that time, I have worked with brides, models, editors photographers and regular people, to create fitting looks for their corresponding events.​&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;I consider myself to be quite lucky to be working as a makeup artist. I truly enjoy the art side and being a part of all these special events that bring joy to so many&nbsp;people.&nbsp;&nbsp;To me, makeup is not something that should be worn to hide ones self. Rather, it should be used to convey the emotion or "vibe" of that day. It should enhance your natural beauty and it should be you.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;I love helping my clients accomplish just that.

My primary focus is to do what I love and always provide my clients with the best products and latest trends/ tech. 

I have not always been independent. I actually started my makeup career as a sale makeup artist at a kiosk in a mall selling mineral makeup. I was then scouted by Estee lauder as they saw I always had someone on my chair. I worked in luxury sales for several brands some of which include Charlotte Tilbury and Tomford. From there, after the pandemic, I saw an opportunity to focus on what I love most, just doing makeup. So, I joined bridal makeup agencies and now im building my own.

Why I love what I doI love this work because design, done right, is never just decoration — it's how an idea becomes something people understand, trust, and act on. What pulls me in isn't only making something look striking; it's the moment strategy, message, and craft click into place and a brand suddenly makes sense. I get to blend art and technology, but the part I find most fulfilling is the structure underneath the surface: the positioning, the systems, the architecture that turn a good-looking brand into one that performs and holds up as a company grows. Every project is a chance to solve that puzzle a little better — to keep learning, testing new approaches, and helping firms that have proven their model build something that lasts. That's what keeps it exciting: not just designs that impress, but brands that endure.

The perfect job isn't defined by the biggest budget or the flashiest brief — it's the right client at the right moment. It's a firm that's already proven its model, doing $500K to $5M, that's outgrown the branding that got them here and is ready to build something that actually holds. They come with clarity about where they want to go, they're open to strategy over decoration, and they trust the process enough to let us go deep — real research, real problem-solving, honest feedback in both directions. That's when the work gets good: when I'm not just making something look striking, but installing the positioning, messaging, and systems that let a business scale on its own terms. The perfect job ends with a brand that doesn't just impress in a portfolio — it performs under pressure and still makes sense three years later. That's the kind of work worth doing.
