The kitchen has become my comfort space which is funny, because my younger self would have never imagined pursuing a career in cooking. Food became a major part of my life when I became plant based at a young age, sparking my love for creating meals. Before fully diving into food, I explored many paths—from interior design to retail before starting a dog walking business, which I ran for 10 years. Between walks, I was experimenting in the kitchen and cooking for friends and family. During the pandemic, an online nutrition course helped me realize that my true passion was making food, not just studying it. Over time, cooking evolved from a necessity into a creative pursuit. I fell in love with crafting recipes using fresh, farmers market ingredients and sharing them online. I wanted my cooking to be accessible and easy. I realized food doesn’t need to be complicated to be beautiful. I always found myself trying to make really unique recipes, but I love that they are just simple and displayed beautifully. Today, I bring my love of fresh, seasonal ingredients to every project from recipe development and meal deliveries to intimate catering. My goal is to create food that delights the senses, celebrates quality ingredients, and brings people together.
