It started with my grandmother.

I've always had a love for art and painting. It runs in my family. But I never imagined henna would become such a big part of my life.

When I was fourteen, my grandmother took me to a henna workshop in our community. That afternoon changed everything.

II · The Mentor

Someone saw it before I did.

At that workshop, a young woman who was already an established bridal henna artist noticed how quickly I picked up the art.

She took me under her wing and helped me develop my skills and my confidence. I will always be grateful that she did.

III · The First Bride

Sixteen, and trusted with her day.

I slowly began taking smaller bookings, and by sixteen I had booked my very first bride.

From there I grew into the wedding industry while balancing high school, then college, and my passion for art.

IV · The Brides

More than henna.

What I love most is being part of such meaningful moments in people's lives. Knowing that a bride trusts me with something so personal, on one of the most important days of her life, means everything to me.

This journey has always been about more than henna. It's about the people I've met, the relationships I've built, the traditions I get to celebrate, and the love I pour into every design.
