I’ve spent much of my life in the kitchen – from romping around as a kid learning to bake at home with my parents, to college days baking stupid and silly study snacks for my six roommates (like a giant Rice Krispie treat shaped like a man), to now, experimenting in my own kitchen and challenging myself to create (and reinvent) my strange, nostalgic treat daydreams (could a dirt n’ worms cup be a Twinkie?).

Growing up with my mom in the catering biz and my dad a chef, I think most of my passion was inherited. Through learning in our home kitchen, then spending some of my teen years in restaurants, and eventually, working in a bakery while living in Seattle, I have been able to take my fascination with baking from hobby to full-time craft.
