Growing up in a family of foodies with a professional cook/baker for a mother, food has always been a core part of who I am. It’s more than just a source of bodily nourishment—it’s a journey, a sharing of cultures and viewpoints, an act of caring and love.

Over the years, I have found a love of creating dishes that draw from my many cultural food experiences—remixing them into something new. Following in my mother’s footsteps for a short while, I became a professional baker specializing in designer cupcakes of the vegan variety and was even featured in a few publications for my take on the humble cupcake.

While no longer a professional, much of my world still revolves around food—especially when it comes to my vices of carbs and coffee!
