Originally from Kent , Lucy attended secondary school at Homewood , Tenterden begrudgingly; her favourite subjects being Art, Drama, History and English Literature.
Leaving school at 16 she decided to further her education at Canterbury College where she stayed for four years, at first studying A-Levels in Art and Design, Drama and English Literature and then continuing to a BTEC National Diploma in Drama and Performing arts, where she discovered a love of properties production.
After having an ambition of becoming an actor from a very young age, Lucy was to discover that it wasn't her strongest quality. Next in the journey of self-discovery, Lucy followed her creative leanings to Kent Institute of Art and Design and did a years Foundation course in Visual Communication but realised that was not where she wanted to be.
University seemed to be a logical step from there and so the search for a course began. London College of Fashion offered a course in Property design and manufacture, seeming the most interesting place to study right in the heart of London , Lucy went along for an open day. This was where she discovered their legendary makeup artistry course. It covered such subjects as special effects makeup something that had captured her imagination for as long as she could remember.
Lucy graduated with a Bachelor of Arts degree in Makeup for Performing Arts from London College of Fashion in July 2007.
