My work centers shared spaces and how they strengthen our connection to one another. I honed my aesthetic through building tiny dessert Jenga towers as a pastry chef in Michelin star restaurants and hotels across the US. Now based in Los Angeles, I document what lies beyond the food porn feed: the people, landscape, and possibility. 

Publications include Gastronomica, F-Stop, and Midnite Snack. 

I am a ballet fanatic and would never say no to a green tamale.
