If you’re spending on marketing and still unsure what’s actually driving results, or revenue is growing but profit isn’t, something’s off.
I work with brands to get clear on what’s happening and what to focus on.
Most teams aren’t short on ideas or activity. There’s usually just too much going on and no clear signal on what matters.
I’ve worked across DTC, CPG, and eCommerce brands (Shopify, Amazon), looking at performance in terms of revenue, margin, and what actually holds up over time.
That might mean reviewing channels, campaigns, or the overall strategy — working out what’s pulling its weight and what isn’t.
I tend to look at things in four parts:
- The strategy behind it
- How it’s been executed
- If it's been executed in collab with ops & finance
- How it’s being measured
- If it supports overarching business strategy and goals
A lot of wasted time comes from fixing the wrong part.

🟢𝐘𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐂𝐨𝐨𝐤𝐛𝐨𝐨𝐤 𝐈𝐬 𝐍𝐨𝐭 𝐅𝐚𝐢𝐥𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐁𝐞𝐜𝐚𝐮𝐬𝐞 𝐨𝐟 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐑𝐞𝐜𝐢𝐩𝐞𝐬 𝐈𝐭’𝐬 𝐅𝐚𝐢𝐥𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐁𝐞𝐜𝐚𝐮𝐬𝐞 𝐨𝐟 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐃𝐞𝐬𝐢𝐠𝐧, 𝐒𝐭𝐫𝐮𝐜𝐭𝐮𝐫𝐞, 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐒𝐲𝐬𝐭𝐞𝐦 𝐁𝐞𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐝 𝐈𝐭.
Most authors come to Upwork thinking they “just need formatting” or a “quick cookbook design.”
That misunderstanding is exactly why:
✅Their Amazon KDP book gets rejected
✅Their cookbook looks amateur next to competitors
✅Their ebook breaks on Kindle
✅Their print version bleeds badly or feels hard to read
✅Their recipe book doesn’t sell, even with great content
Here’s the hard truth most buyers don’t realize 👇
❌ 𝐖𝐡𝐲 𝐁𝐮𝐲𝐞𝐫𝐬 𝐅𝐚𝐢𝐥 𝐭𝐨 𝐆𝐞𝐭 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐑𝐞𝐬𝐮𝐥𝐭𝐬 𝐓𝐡𝐞𝐲 𝐖𝐚𝐧𝐭
They hire a generic graphic designer, not a cookbook writer + cookbook designer + recipe book formatting expert.
Cookbooks are not normal books.
They require:
✅Recipe-specific layout logic
✅Clean ingredients and instructions hierarchy
✅Proper typography for long cooking sessions
✅Correct food photography placement
✅Print-ready formatting that survives Amazon KDP, IngramSpark, and POD platforms
Most freelancers only know design not cookbook publishing systems.
That’s why buyers end up rehiring… and paying twice.
✅𝐖𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐘𝐨𝐮 𝐀𝐜𝐭𝐮𝐚𝐥𝐥𝐲 𝐍𝐞𝐞𝐝 (𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐒𝐲𝐬𝐭𝐞𝐦)
You don’t need “design.”
You need a complete cookbook production system:
✔ Professional cookbook writing support (if needed)
✔ Recipe book layout designed for readability and usability
✔ Amazon KDP-compliant interior formatting
✔ Print-ready PDF with correct bleed, margins, trim size
✔ Kindle / EPUB ebook formatting that works on all devices
✔ Cohesive cookbook branding and visual consistency
✔ A final product that looks market-ready, professional, and sellable
That’s the difference between a book and a published product.

While you focus on:
✅Your brand
✅Your audience
✅Your launch
✅Your marketing
I handle:
✅Cookbook design & layout
✅Recipe book formatting (print + ebook)
✅Amazon KDP interior formatting
✅Cookbook cover design (front, spine, back)
✅Print-ready PDF creation
✅EPUB & Kindle formatting
✅Typography, spacing, hierarchy, and flow
✅Food photography placement
✅Table of contents, indexing, and structure
You don’t manage tools, specs, or technical details I do.

🏆 Why Serious Buyers Hire Me
Clients hire me because I’m not just a designer.
I’m a cookbook writer, cookbook designer, and recipe book formatting expert who understands:
✅Amazon KDP cookbook standards
✅Print-on-demand publishing
✅Editorial layout and publication design
✅Recipe-specific UX and readability
✅How buyers visually judge cookbooks
I don’t use generic templates.
I don’t guess.
I don’t “hope it passes KDP.”
I design cookbooks to look professional, feel usable, and publish smoothly.

But delivering a:
✅ Print-ready cookbook
✅ Kindle-ready ebook
✅ Professionally structured recipe book
✅ Market-competitive product
✅ Amazon-approved interior and cover
✅ Cookbook you’re proud to sell
If your goal is to publish a professional, high-quality cookbook that stands beside top sellers, then you’re in the right place.

Writer and curriculum developer with 25 years of professional experience across food, nutrition, and wellness. I bring genuine subject matter expertise to every project — as a trained chocolatier and pastry chef, certified health coach, meditation teacher, and registered yoga instructor, I write and develop educational content from the inside out, not from research alone.
I work in three areas:
Wellness and women's health writing — articles, blog content, and editorial pieces for publications and brands covering nutrition, behavior, mindfulness, and women's health.
Course and curriculum development — end-to-end instructional design for wellness, nutrition, and mindfulness programs, including scope, sequencing, written materials, and delivery structure.
Food and culinary content — recipe development, food writing, and culinary education content drawing on 25 years of professional kitchen experience across pastry, chocolate, and whole food cooking.
I work independently, manage my own clients across multiple time zones, and deliver clean, well-researched content without hand-holding. If you need someone who actually knows the subject, not just someone who can write about it, that's me.

I'm a Registered Dietitian with a serious passion for holistic health and wellness. I have a Bachelors in biology from the University of Southern California and a Masters in Public Health from UCLA. I did my post-graduate dietetic training at Pepperdine followed by a year long internship with Wellness Workdays based in Boston. I have significant experience in clinical research, CPG consulting, marketing/copywriting and within the restaurant industry.
My philosophy centers around the celebration of whole, unprocessed ingredients from quality sources. I love reading labels and have almost every brand and product in the grocery store memorized as a result. I do not count macros or encourage my clients to either. Instead, I employ an intuitive eating framework that relies on having hearty, healthy and delicious options available at all times. This takes a bit of passion and planning and I'm here to help with that.
Find my work at Toxiswap.com.
In addition to one-on-one work, I am available for the following:
• Restaurant Consultations
I can help with vendor sourcing, menu curation and staff training (note: it is incredibly important for wait staff to be knowledgable about improved ingredients and all associated efforts put in by management because they are effectively the face of your brand).
• Retreat Services
I can develop menus for wellness retreats, source ingredients from local vendors and provide high-quality meals.
• Corporate Wellness
I can work with local vendors to cater for events, build partnerships in the area or digitally to provide health services for employees, provide one-on-one consultations and help your company become attractive in this area.
• CPG Development
I can help with ingredient formulation, product iteration, storytelling and copywriting for nutrition-based consumer packaged goods.
• Article & Claim Review
I can help to edit and fact check any copy written for health and wellness brands, either as a ghost or with a byline.
**PLEASE REACH OUT FOR REQUESTS NOT LISTED ABOVE***
I look forward to working with you and/or your team!

Hi, I'm a qualified Nutritional Therapist, Diet Cookbook Author and award winning health product developer. I have mostly specialised in the diet and nutritional supplement industry. My early career started in Diet coaching in my successful weight loss clinic, and during this time I worked as a diet and weight loss specialist while also doing expert commenting and nutrition articles in magazines and press. During this time I had my first book published which is a diet cookbook now selling in many translations all over the world.
In more recent years I have focused on building my own products and brands with my most successful being Zero Noodles. This brand won the Holland and Barrett awards for the fastest selling new line and during the following year won the award for the highest selling product online. Last year my natural deodorant (GoBo) won many votes in popular magazines such as Womens Health and Good Housekeeping as the best natural deodorant of 2021.
Although I love developing new products my love ends at the launch stage and so I recently decided to step back from creating more products for my own company and am now focusing only on product development and Health writing for other companies where I get to create, develop and then pass on for the marketing, sales and production side of the business.
I'm truly passionate about Nutrition and health and have a keen interest in new and trending ingredients as well as scientifically proven and researched ingredients. I strongly believe that nutritional products should always be at their optimal formulation with perfectly synergetic ingredients at their most beneficially proven levels. Brand transparency is crucial these days and so consumers want to know exactly what they are getting and how it is sourced. This is why environmental and ethical sourcing should always be a consideration when developing as well as the minimal use of fillers and additives. Most of these elements can be achieved with natural and environmentally friendly ingredients but I understand the costs also need to be considered and so these cannot always be met perfectly.
I have a good understanding of nutritional labelling and statement claims that can be used to optimise marketing and the enthusiasm to create trending products that give great results.
