Prior to her career in practical special effects, Tatianna was face painter for Kellogg's and Blue Star LLC. traveling to cities across the county transforming the faces of the youth. It was through this fascination for transforming the outward appearance of people that she became fascinated with the make-up arts. It was during her time at Blue Star that Tatianna expanded into full body painting and airbrushing- leading up to silicone prosthetic applications of friends then films. The need to reproduce complicated lifecasts in plaster and other materials led Tatianna to dig deeper into the world of silicon mold making. Tatianna will be forever indebted to his former employer, Victor Hakim, for giving her that gentle nudge in the effects direction.
