"Trysta is an incredible make up and effects artist with an eye for detail. She takes her work very seriously to ensure everyone feels safe before, during, and after the effects take place while also ensuring the team gets the shot in a timely manner. Her communication skills and teamwork with all departments is something truly special that allows everyone to be informed and also makes it possible for the best shot to be produced. Many times, Her effects and makeup is what makes the film and her skills should be praised for it."
Mikyla Bordner- Producer, M Films, LLC
"Trysta takes a vision and embellishes it. Behind every drop of blood, piece of latex, ooze of bodily fluid, is hard work, experience and an understanding of story that is completely unmatched. I will never use another HMU for the rest of my career. I can't recommend her enough. If she doesn't blow you away with her artistry, she will impress you with her professionalism and speed."
Calia Rubano, MUA (she/her)
"Trysta is such a joy to work with! She’s not only an incredibly talented and hardworking artist, but she also has a true ability to work with people which is imperative in this industry. I met her when I was 17 and a senior in high school and was immediately welcomed and drawn in by her presence and her passion for her career. She’s been a true mentor to me and has taken me under her wing over the last year which I will be forever grateful for. Trysta is very sought after in the Portland film community and for very good reason. I’m so excited to see where she goes."
