I am a professional chef by trade and a writer at night! I have a bachelor's degree in Baking and Pastry Arts and have completed many freelance writing classes as well. I can help you quickly and thoroughly complete your culinary projects, in any magnitude, and hopefully add value to your business! I specialized in recipe writing and development as well as recipe and restaurant blogging. I have done a good deal of work in food photography and can create amazing, eye-catching content for all social media outlets. I am a native English speaker and love to edit just as much as I love to write. I am also a mom to three young kids so writing about children and parenting is another forte. Please feel free to ask any questions regarding my skills! I am always excited about new projects and challenges.

I create brands from the ground up and help established businesses refine, extend, and apply their identities across every customer touchpoint. I’m a brand and graphic designer with 15+ years of experience across visual identity, packaging, print, editorial and marketing collateral. My work includes new brand creation, rebrands, logo systems, brand guidelines, packaging, brochures, sales materials, campaign assets, signage, menus and launch collateral. Alongside my design background, I hold an MBA in Marketing and co-founded OVO Vodka, where I led the development and commercial rollout of the brand across identity, packaging, campaigns, sales materials and retail activation. That experience means I understand design from both sides: how it should look and how it needs to work for the business. I work best with founders, growing companies and established teams that need: • A new visual identity or thoughtful rebrand • Logo systems, typography, color and visual direction • Packaging, labels and production-ready artwork • Practical brand guidelines and visual systems • Brochures, editorial design and marketing collateral • Campaign, launch and sales materials • An experienced creative partner for ongoing brand rollout My approach is collaborative, strategic and hands-on. I can build the visual foundation from scratch, refine an existing creative direction or help an established brand become more consistent across its packaging, print and marketing materials. I’ve completed more than 200 projects on Upwork, earned over $100K, and maintain a 100% Job Success Score.
