Get to know me better

29-year-old chef blending classical techniques with contemporary flair, crafting fresh, seasonal dishes inspired by global flavors.

I’m a 29‑year‑old private chef whose passion lies at the intersection of time‑honored technique and bold, contemporary flavor. Trained in classical foundations and endlessly curious about emerging culinary trends, I draw inspiration from seasonal, locally sourced ingredients and the rich tapestry of Mediterranean, French, Italian, and American cuisines. Whether it’s reimagining a familiar comfort dish with unexpected accents or crafting entirely new flavor pairings, my goal is always to surprise and delight the palate.

With every menu I design, I strive to balance precision and creativity—meticulous in execution, adventurous in spirit—and to create an experience that feels both effortlessly elegant and unmistakably fresh.
