Can you share a bit about yourself? 
Born and raised in the beautiful Fiji Islands, I was introduced to the art of henna at a young age, watching my mother and grandmother adorn brides with intricate designs. Their passion became mine, and I started doing henna when I was just 10 years old. When I moved to the U.S. at 16, I carried this tradition with me, refining my skills and deepening my connection to the craft. Now, with 16 years of professional experience, I specialize in bridal henna, creating detailed and meaningful designs that celebrate love, culture, and tradition. Henna is more than just an art form for me—it’s a legacy that I am proud to continue.
