About Me

From My Table to Yours

I help food entrepreneurs turn food ideas into market-ready products.

I thrive in creative, fast moving environments, working with founders and small teams to turn food ideas into clear, well-executed concepts and launches. Whether you’re starting with a rough concept or something more executed, I step in where it’s needed most.

My consulting work spans menu and product development, concept creation and execution, brand aligned food strategy and growth and all the in-between across emerging and growing food businesses, bringing food to life.

  • Early-stage to growth-stage brands
  • From idea phase to established but evolving – people who still have flexibility and need direction

Where Food Comes to Life

This is where I come in, to help take what you’ve started (where ever you might be) and shape it into something that can keep growing with confidence.

I help from start to end and everything in between.

How We Work Together

I work on a flexible, project-based basis, stepping in where it makes the most impact. Whether that’s a one-off project or ongoing support, my main focus is successful outcomes.

I am based in Kingston, Ontario, but I collaborate with founders and small businesses across Ontario on a hybrid basis, either online or in person, as needed.

I also collaborate with teams across Canada and United States, on a fully remote basis and travelling for in person interaction as needed.

Although i’d love to stay forever (because i genuinely love what I do), the goal is to build the skills, knowledge, and confidence you need to move forward on your own. Once you’re there, I step back and let the magic happen – but never too far.

I’m always a message away for ongoing support, ensuring you feel confident as you grow. This approach allows me to support more teams in reaching their food goals.
