I tell stories through food…

… with a focus on preserving cultures and traditions

The true gifts of a food writer and a chef are fostering community and forging connections—connections with each other, our histories, and our shared experiences. These connections come alive through our words, from our kitchens, and at the dinner table.

“I realized very early the power of food to evoke memory, to bring people together, to transport you to other places, and I wanted to be a part of that.” (José Andrés)

I deliver strategy, story, and style…

…for culinary brands

I align culture and commerce—authenticity checks, brand voice, menu/pack copy, art direction, food styling, and chef-led books—so your story moves product and people.

I create award-winning food photos

IACP-recognized styling

…that blends chef-level know-how with a clean, editorial eye. I handle food and prop styling end-to-end to deliver craveable, brand-true images that honor the recipe—whether for cookbooks, hospitality, or CPG. My plates are styled to tell your story.
