I believe communities thrive when people feel connected— to their food, their place, and one another. That belief is at the heart of everything I create. My work begins with empathy and intention, rooted in the understanding that design can cultivate connection, inspire creativity, and build resilience.

I've spent my life exploring the relationship between people and place. From my early roots in the food industry to leading creative initiatives that blend art, agriculture, and community. I've learned that nourismnet come in many forms; a shared meal, a local market, or a story brought to life by design. Each one is an act of care and creativity, strengthening the ties that hold communities together.

As a community-centered designer and a resilient foodways practitioner, I use design thinking , storytelling, and collaboration to help people rediscover what makes their places special. My work lives at the intersection of food, art, and nature—where imagination meets purpose and where local stories can spark global change.

Everything I design—whether a system, a stratgey or a symbol—begins with love and grows through connection, creativity, and resilience.
