How I Got Started
Growing up in the heart of New York City, where ingredients were readily available at grocery stores, I discovered my passion for cooking, eventually leading me to become a professional chef. Alongside my culinary journey, I developed a profound interest in gardening, which made me acutely aware of the disconnect between ingredients and consumers. To bridge this gap, I embarked on a journey of growing my own vegetables and dedicating my free time to volunteering at various farms and gardens.
As the days rolled on, I found myself driven by a mission to cultivate a deeper connection between people and nature. Now, on my days off, you can often find me immersed in planting living architecture—a unique and captivating way to help individuals reconnect with the natural world that surrounds them.
My journey is more than creating green spaces; it’s about awakening a sense of wonder and belonging. Every willow woven, every plant nurtured, is a step towards a greener, more sustainable future where cities are not just places to live but spaces to thrive
