About Me
Why I'm the right partner for your project
I started My food service career in 1996, after graduating from Johnson & Wales University in RI. I have worked as a food developer since 2005. I am so appreciative of all the companies that have trusted me to develop their products, their vision. Creating products for companies like Williams Sonoma, Trader Joes, Delta airlines and many more.
I am creating a place in the world to help those people with amazing passion and inspiration achieve their dreams, their vision. I am 100% involved in the creation of your vision. You are the visionary, and I am the creative. That's the process in its simplest form. Through emails and meetings, we discuss your vision. As soon as we agree on the direction, I will begin the work.
My Approach to Success
Success, to me, is about turning vision into reality—through collaboration, creativity, and relentless follow-through. I believe great products are born when passionate people come together with a shared goal. You bring the inspiration, the story, the "why." I bring the experience, the process, and the creative know-how to bring it to life. I don't believe in cookie-cutter solutions (even though I do love cookies). Every project is different, and every client has a unique voice. My role is to listen deeply, ask the right questions, and then get to work crafting something that feels true to your brand and exciting to your customers. From our first conversation to final samples, I’m hands-on, detail-obsessed, and fully invested in your success. I’m not just a developer I’m your creative partner in the process. Because when you win, I win too.
Collaboration
Collaboration is at the heart of everything I do. I see myself as an extension of your team—here to understand, elevate, and execute your vision with care and creativity.
Our work together starts with a conversation. I listen closely to your ideas, your goals, and what makes your brand unique. From there, we move forward with clarity. Whether it’s a single product or a full line, I keep you involved through key stages—sharing updates, samples, and insights along the way. Communication is transparent and easy, with plenty of space for feedback and refinement.
Excellence
Excellence is more than a finished product—it’s how I approach every step of the journey. It’s in the questions I ask, the ingredients I choose, the way I listen, and the care I take in bringing your vision to life. Excellence means not cutting corners. It means balancing creativity with precision. It’s about delivering products that not only taste incredible but feel intentional, thoughtful, and aligned with your brand’s purpose. To me, it’s also about consistency—showing up with the same level of energy, focus, and integrity for every project, whether it’s a one-off creation or a full product line. I hold myself to a high standard because I know how much your dream means to you. Excellence is the promise I make, and the outcome I aim for—every single time.
Communication
Clear, honest, and consistent communication is the foundation of how I work. From the very beginning, I make sure we’re aligned on your goals, your vision, and your expectations. I keep things straightforward and transparent—no surprises, just open dialogue. Whether we’re emailing, hopping on a call, or meeting in person, you’ll always know where your project stands. I welcome feedback at every stage and encourage collaboration so that the final product truly reflects your voice. I’m not just here to create—I’m here to connect. That means being responsive, thoughtful, and present throughout the entire process. Because when communication flows, creativity does too.
Product Enhancement, Recipe Development & Client Satisfaction
Creating exceptional products starts with understanding your vision—and then going beyond it. My approach to product enhancement and recipe development is rooted in curiosity, experience, and a deep love for innovation. I look at every product as an opportunity to improve, refine, and elevate—whether we’re starting from scratch or enhancing an existing recipe.
Each formulation is carefully crafted with taste, texture, shelf life, and scalability in mind. I balance creativity with technical precision to ensure your product not only stands out in the market but also delivers a consistently excellent experience to your customers.Client satisfaction isn’t just a goal—it’s the standard. I measure my success by your excitement when you taste the final product, your confidence in sharing it with the world, and the trust we build along the way. You’re not just hiring a developer—you’re gaining a creative partner who’s as invested in your success as you are.
