Every gathering begins with a theme - sometimes an ingredient, sometimes a place, sometimes a feeling. A simple concept becomes the entire evening - food, cocktails, wine, florals, ambiance and of course, the outfit.

My joy for art and cooking started young, though adventurous eating came later. But I fell in love with cooking after my family got the Food Network on cable as a teen, and this eventually led me toward a Hospitality & Tourism diploma.

Out of college, my first job was working as a banquet manager (leaning strongly towards wedding coordinator) which was a major stepping stone toward my appreciation for a beautiful table. From there, my creative soul eagerly jumped at the chance to try floral design.

But the thing that pushed this passion project forward was being surrounded by people who love to enjoy these moments of creativity with me.

I’m not a chef or a stylist.

I’m a host at heart.

For me, food is a love language. Dressing up for dinner is indulging my inner child’s joy for a costume. Setting the table is an art expression. This is so many pieces of me coming together.
