About ME
About ME
Embedded Files
I am a dedicated creative who believes in living life to the fullest through hands-on experiences across various mediums. My journey has been marked by challenges that many would deem insurmountable—years of dialysis, two kidney transplants, and numerous fresh starts. However, the word "easy" has never been in my lexicon. I flourish in the face of adversity, finding joy in storytelling and creating something impactful—whether it’s through food, design, or community engagement.
Baking is the current chapter in my journey, but it’s just one thread in a much larger narrative. From culinary arts to event production, branding and design to welding and construction, I’ve dedicated my life to acquiring skills that enable me to create, connect, and inspire. I believe that every project tells a story, and I approach each one with curiosity, discipline, and creativity.
At the core of my work are the people I engage with—meeting them where they are, fostering communities, and communicating through shared experiences and learning. Whether I’m crafting artisan bread, producing a podcast, designing a logo, or launching a new venture, my aim remains the same: to create something enduring, something that resonates.
This portfolio is more than just a showcase of my work; it reflects the journey that has shaped me, the skills I’ve honed, and the belief that no story—whether mine or yours—ever truly ends.
