ABOUT

Meet the founder


Bienvenue, I’m Amanda.

I spent a decade in the beauty industry building a business from the retail counter to an industry leader in luxury makeup and beauty education services. I was truly booked & busy As a full-time artist, averaging 25 clients per week all while maintaining 100% client satisfaction across hundreds of reviews. While I loved being an artist, i wanted more. I began creating content in 2020 and my life hasn’t been the same since.

That experience made me fall in love with the marketing component of building a business. Every time I am introduced to a new brand or business, my head is flooded with new content ideas and strategies. I've learned firsthand that small businesses don't need an entire marketing team or a massive budget to scale. They need a system that is going to work for them and only them. I help create this system!

Over the years, I have met so many incredible business owners & entrepreneurs at industry events. the connections i made are precisely what motivated me to begin hosting
sip n’ learn socials and create the sip n’ learn social collective. in this digital era of marketing, we crave irl experiences with other humans. I really believe the stronger the community, the more powerful the influence.

I’m glad you’re here and i hope to connect soon!

xoxo

BONJOUR À TOUS!

    2015 - 2025

    The career that started it all. Being a professional makeup artist gave me so much confidence in my abilities to create, educate, connect, and most importantly, uplift those around me.

  • 2024

    I had a vision for a commercial beauty campaign and this is one of my favorites from the shoot. This was the first time I played all three positions; the Creative Director, Makeup Artist and Hairstylist. I sourced local talent and we got the job done with very little resources.
