My Info

About Me

The line between my work and my play is very blurred. After 10 years of working for a magazine about food and entertaining, last year I joined a small agency to start their culinary division. We produce special events with celebrity chefs; I work with all the chefs on the Food Network, as well as the most famous restaurant chefs in the country. I eat out almost every night, and travel constantly, and I love it. I consider myself an expert shopper – I can source just about anything and am always on the look out for beautiful, functional things.
