Cassidy Sawyer Head House Makeup Artist & Hairstylist A natural born talent... Written by: Kristy ArantesSteampunk Chuck is excited to introduce Cassidy Sawyer, our new head house makeup artist and hairstylist! Cassidy joined us a few short months ago, and she is bringing world class talent to the Steampunk Chuck team. Cassidy is originally from Austin. Texas, where she grew up with her mother, stepdad, and three sisters. She has fond memories of her step-dad whom she praises for "raising her as his own". In addition, Cassidy has three older siblings from her biological father. As a child, she had to overcome many obstacles. Her family moved frequently. She rarely had what most would consider stability, or what she refers to as a "safe spot". "Things were hard, and I was on my own a lot." The frequent moves caused her to struggle academically and socially. She was never able to make lasting friendships. In retrospect, Cassidy feels that the lack of parenting and stability actually served her growth as a person. 34 34
