ABOUT THE INSTRUCTOR

My commitment to blending art with science is deeply rooted in my academic journey. As a trained scientist, with a strong research background, my goal is to make science accessible, through the beauty industry, especially for communities of color who are often left on the sidelines of scientific discourse. My scientific expertise extends to my current role as an Epidemiologist, where I am deeply involved in research on COVID-19. This blend of art, science, and research culminates in a unique perspective that I bring to the world of PMU.

The world of PMU is ever-evolving, and so is my quest for knowledge. With over 10 certifications in the field, I am continually upgrading my skills and techniques. My approach goes beyond the surface, delving into the science of skin physiology, pigment chemistry, and safe practices. This in-depth understanding is what sets us apart at Artistry By Zuri, ensuring results that are not just beautiful but scientifically sound.

In addition to performing services and training artists, I founded PMUCon. It stands out as the only conference hyper-focused on women of color, acknowledging the unique properties of melanin-rich skin. PMUCon offers a range of enriching experiences including hands-on workshops, inspirational talks from industry leaders, live demonstrations of cutting-edge techniques, networking opportunities with professionals, and showcases of the latest products and technology in PMU. The aim of PMUCon is not just to advance artists' technical skills but also to create a space for professional development and growth, contributing significantly to the improved health results of women of color in the beauty industry.
