Mia Broadbent

My name is Mia and I am a special effects, hair, and makeup artist based in London. I received my Bachelor’s degree with Honours from the Arts University of Bournemouth in 2023 and I am looking for on-set experience and trainee work. My main interests lie in prosthetics however, I’m enthusiastic to improve my skills in all creative aspects. I have always been fascinated by the creative process and magic involved when bringing a character to life.
