My work explores the intersection of functionality, aesthetics, and storytelling, transforming everyday objects and experiences into unique, sensory-driven designs. As the founder of Foodea, I bring innovative solutions to both professional chefs and home users, redefining how we approach food as a form of art and design. My relevance lies in my ability to merge creativity with practicality, offering tools and ideas that inspire and elevate the ordinary into the extraordinary.
One of my major achievements is establishing Foodea, a food design studio and brand that bridges the gap between professional and home-based creativity. I’ve developed design solutions like custom molds and templates that empower users to create visually stunning and functional food presentations. My approach has been recognized for blending culture, tradition, and modern design in unique ways. Additionally, I have hosted workshops and events that connect people through the shared experience of design, taste, and creativity.
Through Foodea, I aim to make food design more accessible and engaging for everyone. I contribute by creating tools that allow people to explore their creativity, learn new skills, and build memorable experiences around food. My work also promotes sustainability by encouraging thoughtful consumption and the appreciation of craftsmanship. Beyond products, I raise awareness about the potential of food as a medium for design and cultural storytelling.
What makes me interesting is my ability to combine two seemingly separate fields—industrial design and food design—and create something entirely unique. I see food not just as sustenance but as an opportunity for artistic expression and connection. My designs are not just about aesthetics; they are about evoking emotions, telling stories, and bringing people together. This fusion of form, function, and meaning defines my work and sets me apart as a designer.

What makes me interesting is my ability to combine two seemingly separate fields—industrial design and food design—and create something entirely unique. I see food not just as sustenance but as an opportunity for artistic expression and connection. My designs are not just about aesthetics; they are about evoking emotions, telling stories, and bringing people together. This fusion of form, function, and meaning defines my work and sets me apart as a designer.
For me, design and art are two interconnected yet distinct forms of expression. Design is about solving problems and meeting needs by blending functionality with aesthetics. Art, on the other hand, is instinctive, emotional, and liberating—a way to tell stories and evoke feelings.
I use both as tools to create experiences that engage the senses, provoke thought, and build connections. My focus on food design embodies this fusion, where the form of food becomes a canvas for cultural narratives and innovative ideas. Transforming an ordinary meal into an extraordinary experience is what inspires me.
I view design and art not as endpoints but as ongoing processes. Every detail tells a story: the texture of a material, the shape of an object, or the presentation of a dish. My goal is to forge connections through these stories and take people beyond the ordinary.
For me, design and art are ways to discover the extraordinary within the everyday and to share that wonder with others.
