I am a pastry chef and designer currently residing in the Russian River Valley. I am passionate about observing the details, conceptualizing and executing ideas, and solving problems. I am tickled pink by the discovery of interesting color palettes and delicious flavor combinations; and never not asking any passing dog to be my friend.
