I joined the Alan Edwards Art Team while I was still training at the salon. This pushed me and motivated me to qualify quicker with as better understanding and confidence in contemporary styles.
In my time with the Art Team I have been lucky enough to take part in many photo shoots, shows and seminars. Some of my more notable moments with the team are putting on the final show at the Grand Final of the the L'Oreal Colour Trophy 2008, which I was involved in from the initial brain storming sessions to the live show in Earls Court.
As part of the Art Team I get the chance to educate others as well. The Alan Edwards Educational Studios hosts seminars all year round in which we share our knowledge and ideas to other industry professionals.
I have also had the opportunity to fly solo within the art team which is greatly encouraged. I made it to the final 20 of the BBC's 'Britain's Young Talent' programme aired in the summer of 2009. I have also had the opportunity to work with L'Oreal at London Graduate Fashion Week.
